* [all]: Support for matching architectures using specification
         strings and wildcards (for example, "linux-any"). See
         Debian Policy section 11.1 "Architecture specification
         strings" for more details.
* [cmdline]: Fix typo which prevented installing tasks using the
             apt-get compatible syntax ("aptitude install
             gnome-desktop^").
* [cmdline]: Do not assume that APT::Default-Release always provides
             the candidate version of a package, instead use the
             policy defined by apt_preferences(5).
             (Closes: #587775, #631464, #686316)
* [all]: Download changelogs from APT::Changelogs::Server instead
         of a fixed location, and replace very ancient and disused
         option for Aptitude::Changelog-URL-Template.
         (Closes: #687239)
* Documentation:
  - Update for default value of APT::AutoRemove::SuggestsImportant
    which is "true" since apt 0.8.15.3. (Closes: #685310)
  - Correctly reference APT::AutoRemove::RecommendsImportant and
    SuggestsImportant which do not contain any hyphens.
    (Closes: #579071)

  - Czech (Closes: #681693)
  - French (Closes: #680040, #685084)

  - Russian (Closes: #686016)

    packages (Closes: #672340) (LP: #831768)
  - correctly recognise dependencies solved by Multi-Arch:
    foreign packages (LP: #968412)
* [curses]: Use dpkg package names when calling dpkg
            (Closes: #680333)
* Add (temporary) helpers for interacting with dpkg.

29. By Daniel Hartwig on 2012-06-04

* Fix build with g++ 4.7
  Thanks Adrian Lang for the patch (Closes: #672335)
* New binary packages:
  - aptitude-doc-it: Italian documentation (Closes: #674664)
  - aptitude-common: data files and translations
* debian/rules:
  - use dh (debhelper command sequencer)
* Require libapt-pkg 0.9.3 to avoid "Method http has died
  unexpectedly" (Closes: #669322)
* Removed preinst script, the one transition it handled is
  over ten years old.
* New upstream release.
  - Update to tasks support: task packages, multi-arch, syntax

    Task packages (introduced with tasksel 3.0) are
    meta-packages which define the dependencies of tasks. The
    packages themselves have always worked but the 'tasks'
    grouping policy and '?task' search term did not support
    them. This update corrects for this.

    As a result of this change to tasksel all Debian tasks now
    function exactly like meta-packages. (Closes: #382631)

    The syntax for installing tasks from the command line has
    been updated. It now supports specifying an arch and
    requires the same syntax as apt-utils ('^' must be the last
    part of the name). Examples:

      # aptitude install gnome-desktop^
      # aptitude install ssh-server^:armel

    This avoids ambiguity that may arise when a task and
    package have the same name.
