  + Remove all patches as they were cherry-picked from master.

  (Closes: #681021)

  - French (Closes: #680040)

15. By Daniel Hartwig on 2012-06-30

* New upstream release.
  - See NEWS for full details.
  - Checking for errors on the command-line is much stricter,
    and many commands which would previously run will now
    exit with failure.
    (Closes: #576212, #590686, #282408, #434502)
    (LP: #919216, #585408)
  - An install run will no longer proceed if any
    package was unavailable or failed to download
    correctly, instead an error will be shown
    and exit with non-zero status (100).
    (Closes: #121313, #302784, #639789)
    (LP: #734737)
  - Some commands (search, versions, changelog, …) will exit
    with non-zero status (1, or some times 100) if there were
    no matches for the given arguments.
    (Closes: #675833, #497299)
  - Support downloading changelogs for packages on
    third-party sites by guessing the URI. (LP: #563155)
  - Properly process all -o command line options.
    (Closes: #587671)
  - Package arguments without an arch-qualifier
    will also consider foreign-arch packages, in
    order of preference. (LP: #892074)
  - Use up-to-date changelog uri construction from apt-get
    using APT::Changelogs::Server.
  - Minor fixes to changelog downloading on the command-line.
    (Closes: #631464, #587775, #537393)
  - Do not group packages as tasks based on their name,
    rather, use their section. (Closes: #679602)
  - Most errors are now displayed at the end of a command's
    output which makes them easier to spot when there is
    lots of output. (Closes: #430392)
* Remove dependency on libept, now access debtags and Xapian
  directly. (Closes: #501732, #504153, #677551)
* Depend on libxapian instead.
* Depend on newer version of libapt-pkg for architecture
  specification string support.
* debian/rules:
  - Clean up extra translated files which po4a is leaving.
* Translation updates:
  - Polish (Closes: #678153)

14. By Daniel Burrows on 2009-10-12

* New upstream release.

  - Don't print a spurious warning if we get --no-gui when the GTK+
    frontend was compiled out. (Closes: #550727)

13. By Daniel Burrows on 2009-10-09

* New upstream release.

  - On the command-line, package versions can be chosen by codename
    (Closes: #547707).

  - Switch back from dpkg-parsechangelog to parsechangelog; they both
    require an external dependency and parsechangelog is faster
    (Closes: #546280).

  - Don't crash if the Xapian database fails to load (Closes: #512998).

  - Recognize --no-gui in all builds, not just aptitude-gtk.
    (Closes: #546406)

  - Don't discard errors after dpkg fails (Closes: #548879, #548889).

  - Block SIGWINCH by default so nothing interferes with cwidget
    catching it. (Closes: #547212)

  - Mention build-dep in "aptitude help" (Closes: #547151).

  - Make --arch-only behave correctly (Closes: #547266).

  - Make the "hold" command in the GTK+ interface hold packages
    instead of deleting them (Closes: #549897).

  - Mention Get-Root-Command in the manual when it describes
    auto-switching-to-root. (Closes: #548657)

  - Fix the default value of Get-Root-Command in the manual so it
    matches the actual code. (Closes: #550057)

  - Translation updates:

    + Danish (Closes: #546497)
    + French
    + Portuguese
    + Russian (Closes: #535806)
    + Spanish

* Remove the calls to update-apt-xapian-index in the postinsts
  (Closes: #550062).

12. By Daniel Burrows on 2009-09-09

New upstream release.

11. By Daniel Burrows on 2009-07-20

* New upstream release.

  - Don't crash the GTK+ interface when displaying a solution that
    cancels the installation of a package. (Closes: #525898)

  - aptitude now build-depends on Boost.

  - Major performance improvements in the dependency solver.

  - Translation updates:

    + Asturian (Closes: #521558)
    + Finnish (Closes: #531582)

  - New Spanish translation of the user's manual.

10. By Daniel Burrows on 2009-04-26

* New upstream release.

  - Work around some buggy terminals that corrupt the progress
    display (Closes: #455220).

9. By Daniel Burrows on 2009-04-23

* New upstream release.

  - Support for guaranteed ordering of solutions produced by the
  dependency resolver. (Closes: #514820, #514930, #524221, #473296)

  - The dependency resolver will continue searching for a short time
    after finding a solution, in case a better solution turns up.
    (Closes: #482825)

  - The GTK+ interface should no longer crash while trying to find
    dependency chains. (Closes: #514714)

  - aptitude is now more careful about automatically canceling the
    removal of an unused package, to avoid triggering a conflict with
    other packages (for instance, packages included in a dependency
    solution). (Closes: #522881, #524667)

  - The curses interface no longer warns users when they purge an
    already-removed Essental package. (Closes: #513472)

  - The curses interface no longer computes an excessive amount of
    dependency information every time a package is highlighted.
    (Closes: #516296)

  - Fixed incorrect formatting in some command-line error messages.
    (Closes: #516296, #514676)

  - Fix really stupid column wrapping in "aptitude why".
    (Closes: #516389)

  - Translation updates:

    + Asturian (Closes: #518981, #519693)
    + Danish (Closes: #512384)
    + German
    + Italian
    + Norwegian Bokmål (Closes: #510977)
    + Spanish (Closes: #517272)
    + Swedish (Closes: #511238, #514011)

* Change the reportbug script to run in the C locale, so program output
  that's inserted doesn't get translated.

* Change the description of aptitude-gtk to say that it has a GUI
  interface. (Closes: #514545, #521152)

* Give aptitude-gtk a versioned dependency on aptitude. (Closes: #516527)

* Include .desktop file contributed by Fabit Greffrath. I know that
  using su-to-root is not ideal, but since aptitude-gtk can't be used to
  install / remove packages unless it's run as root, this is probably a
  good interim approach. Eventually we'll hook up the code so that the
  GTK+ frontend can do what the curses frontend does (automagically
  become root and preserve selections). (Closes: #521255)

* New build-deps: liblog4cxx10-dev, inkscape.
