* New upstream release. Please see /usr/share/aptitude/NEWS for a change
  log with more details.

  - New features:
    * 'Escape' key cancels input dialogs (search, limit, etc.) (Closes:
      #493322)
    * Extend "firstchar" grouping policy to optionally use source
      package names.
    * [curses] Add 'New Source Package View' to Views menu (thanks
      Thadeu Lima de Souza Cascardo, really closes: #497206), with some
      updates and minor modifications, like more complex grouping.
    * [curses] Use Yellow/Brown colour to highlight downgrades (Closes:
      #584510)
    * Log file now contains version information for most actions
      (Closes: #222585)
    * Save selection state of packages to dpkg database (Closes:
      #137771)
    * Consider packages "unknown" to dpkg as not to install. (Closes:
      #328616) The behaviour of scheduled aptitude actions will be
      preserved.

  - Bug fixes:
    * Disable strings gathered for translation (Closes: #790568)
    * Change to try to make updated status stats more clear (Closes:
      #458351)
    * [cmdline] Correctly print when a package should be purged (Closes:
      #798286)
    * [curses] With the option of mini-buffer prompts enabled,
      cancellation of the "Quit confirmation" with 'Escape' or 'Ctrl-g'
      does not cause the dialog/prompt to stop working (Closes: #607118)
    * [cmdline] Warn when package cannot be marked/unmarked auto
      (Closes: #498240)
    * Install signal handlers and do clean-up when terminating abruptly
      (Closes: #558352)
    * [curses] Set better ordering for groups of Preview Actions
      (Closes: #434352)

  - User visible changes:
    * Change error string of source_policy_parser to be the same as the
      rest.
    * [curses] Improve titles and descriptions of views.

  - Internal changes:
    * Improve retrieval of source package information with (upcoming)
      APT 1.1. Thanks to David Kalnischkies for the suggestion and
      implementation advice.
    * New helper dpkg_selections.{h,cc}, to help to manage saving
      selections to the dpkg database (--set-selections)

  - Documentation:
    * Guide/User's Manual: Remove grouping policy "hier" from
      doc/??/aptitude.xml (the categorial/hierarchical browser features
      were removed in version 0.7)

  - Translation updates:
    * Russian by Lev Lamberov (Closes: #798485, #769428)

* Add lintian override for spelling-error-in-binary "ressize", seems to
  be from "resource size" or such. Cannot be found in the source code.
* Fix spelling errors in the two previous changelog entries as reported
  by Lintian.
* Add lintian override for symlink to /usr/share/common-license/…
* Remove explicit build-dependency on g++ >= 4:5.2, no more needed.
* Detabify previous changelog entry.
* Remove no more active team members from Uploaders as suggested by the
  MIA team. Every team member is welcome to re-add himself to Uploaders
  once he's active again. Thanks for all your work, Daniel and Daniel!

40. By Manuel A. Fernandez Montecelo <email address hidden> on 2015-09-05

* New upstream release.
  - Bug fixes:
    * Fix for wrong reported size of deleted files with 'autoclean' on
      32-bit arches (Closes: #499872)
    * Be explicit when packages are already installed, cannot be
      removed/purged because they are not installed, and similar
      (Closes: #421469).
    * Check string formats for columns in both curses and command line
      interface, and forbid characters which can lead to cwidget
      assertions and program crashes. (Closes: #497129, #532662).
  - Documentation:
    * Quick help (help.txt):
      * Document 'l' (Limit Display) in quick help (Closes: #514541)
      * Improve description of '_' (Purge) (Closes: #495326)
      * Improve the description of the search shortcut, and point more
        clearly to search patterns in the full documentation
    * man page:
      * Fix example of '-F' with current and candidate versions
        (Closes: #752517)
    * Guide/User's Manual:
      * Upgrade doc/??/aptitude.xml documents from DocBook XML 4.2 to
        4.5
      * Use XHTML 1.0 rather than HTML 4.01, at least to have something
  from this decade/century. The resulting documentation still
        does not fully validate (see #496724), I think that due to
        bugs/problems of docbook-xsl conversions using invalid elements in
  the different standards (tried HTML 4.0, 4.01, XHTML 1.0 and 1.1).
      * Generate 'alt' tag for images in HTML documentation (see #496724)
      * In "Customizing the package list", fix order of variables
        ::UI::Package-Status-Format and ::UI::Package-Header-Format and
  their explanations
  - User visible changes:
    * Slightly change description of shortcut 'g' in title bar
      (Closes: #247487)
  - Internal changes:
    * search_graph.h, fix problem with code which was working for many
      years (with boost 1.55 and many versions before), but now the
straightforward option to convert boost::optional to bool does not
      work with gcc-5.2 and boost-1.58, so use .is_initialized() instead.
    * solution_item.cc, copy string of package name coming from libapt
      because it does not guarantee that the string is valid for all of the
      time span that we need it, to not show garbage that it happens
      sometimes (Closes: #795150, #795028)
    * match.cc, pkg_info_screen.cc, reason_fragment.cc: remove and
      modify code relying on pkg.Section() (from apt PkgIterator), it is
      deprecated code and it will get removed soon according to the apt team
      (Versions have Sections, Package in abstract doesn't have unique
      Sections)
    * aptitude_resolver.cc: use std::unique_ptr instead of deprecated
      SPtrArray
    * Add compatibility for APT 1.1:
      * Create DepIterator values from Dependency pointers on-the-fly,
        where required
      * Adjust AcqQueuedFile() for changed signatures of overriden
        methods
    * Improving C++11 compatibilty mode:
      * Convert std::auto_ptr (deprecated in C++11) to unique_ptr
      * Convert boost::scoped_ptr (deprecated in C++11) to std::unique_ptr
      * Convert instances of boost::shared_ptr, make_shared, and
        weak_ptr to be explicitly prefixed by boost::, otherwise they clash
  or have problems compiling with the new C++11 std::shared_ptr and
        analogues (many were not converted in the previous version).
    * Remove unused function serialize_pattern_list()
    * Remove unused function wcsempty()
    * Improvements of the autoconf/automake infrastructure.
     * No more generate a dummy ChangeLog file just to please automake.
     * Clean up some more leftover files in "make maintainer-clean"
     * Use 'cp -u' when copying gtest and gmock, so they don't need to be
       recompiled every time
  - Translation updates:
    * Swedish by Josef Andersson (Closes: #792911)
    * Fix typos/syntax oddities and translation issues, thanks Jens Seidel
     (Closes: #381702)

* Disable patches, now in the upstream release:
  - 05-cherry-pick-3593bdcb.patch
  - 10-cherry-pick-2a5a8b25.patch
  - 15-cherry-pick-4b24b358.patch

39. By Axel Beckert on 2015-08-05

[ Manuel A. Fernandez Montecelo ]
* New upstream release.
  - Changes in the versioning scheme and changelog (to follow loosely
    the Semantic Version specification)
  - Feature removal: The content-wise outdated and
    not-multiarch-compatible categorical browser has been removed. The
    Debtags browser has replaced most of its functionality already. Local

    well as LP: #1082198).
  - Changes to allow to compile with C++11 compatibilty mode (prompted by
    changes in the toolchain in Debian) (Closes: #777778)
  - Fix reported installed size change when installing/deinstalling
    packages which are bigger than 2 GiB (int type size 32 bits). Thanks
    Benny Baumann and Jason Rhinelander for the report and info, and Sven
    Joachim for the patch. (Closes: #759769)
  - Changes in automake files to be able to use current automake
    versions.
  - Documentation:
    - Previously missing trigger-related package states are now
      documented. (Closes: #770073, #771305, #771704)
    - Minesweeper: Fixed save/load keybindings in help.
      (Closes: #736934)
  - Translation updates:
    - Czech by Miroslav Kure (Closes: #758226)

    - German man page translation by Mario Blättermann and
      Jens Seidel (Closes: #762340)
    - Catalan by Orestes Mas (Closes: #771618)
    - French documentation translation by Cédric Boutillier
      (Closes: #773807)
    - Italian documentation translation by Beatrice Torracca
      (Closes: #776706)

* [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)

  - French (Closes: #680040, #685084)
