11. By Stefan Fritsch on 2009-12-13

* Downgrade 'Recommends: menu' to 'Suggests: menu' (closes: #543353).
* Update postinst message to mention the possibility to run 'apt-file
  update' as non-root (closes: #540905).

  components (e.g. non-free), even if those components are not listed in
  the sources.list file (closes: #552986).
* Make the update-notifier hook also look into the user's cache before

[ Thijs Kinkhorst ]
* Note in manpage that directories are not found (closes: #557181).

[ Stefan Fritsch ]
* Rework anchoring logic for package and regexp searches (closes: #557719).
* Bump Standards-Version (no changes).

9. By Stefan Fritsch on 2009-08-03

* Add initial version of rapt-file, which does not rely on the downloaded
  file lists, but queries dde.debian.net for every search. It does not offer
  all features of apt-file (closes: #518764).
* Add Enrico to Uploaders.
* Fix perl warning when $HOME is not set (closes: #527303)
* Make diffindex-download check if stdout is a terminal instead of stdin,
  to determine if it should be quiet. This fixes 'apt-file -N' disabling
  the download progress report (closes: #526393)
* Bump Standards-Version:
  - add support for DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS=nocheck

8. By Stefan Fritsch on 2009-02-16

* diffindex-download improvements for the case when diff/Index is not available
  (LP: #316155):
  - make error message less noisy
  - don't calculate the sha1sum of the old file, it's futile anyway
  - don't redownload the full file if it has not changed

7. By Stefan Fritsch on 2009-01-06

* Ship 'diffindex-download' and 'diffindex-rred' for downloading patches
  instead of the full Contents files. Use this for http and ftp in default
  config file (closes: #373589).
* diffindex-download uses curl with progress meter enabled by default
  (can be changed in apt-file.conf). Closes: #381613
  Therefore always depend on curl and remove dependency on wget.
* diffindex-download prints some error messages if no connection is possible
  (closes: #357031).
* Make 'apt-file purge' remove old content files even if the sources.list
  line has been removed in the meantime (closes: #507092).
* Make tests not require wget or curl during build-time. Thanks James Westby
  (closes: #506554).

6. By James Westby on 2008-11-22

Add missing build dependency on curl, needed for the tests.

5. By Stefan Fritsch on 2008-11-12

* Use ~/.cache/apt-file as cache directory if called as non-root user,
  but fall back to the old /var/cache/apt/apt-file. This allows to use
  'apt-file update' as non-root (closes: #443728).
* No longer search for apt-file.conf in the current directory. Instead,
  allow to choose the config file with the APT_FILE_CONFIG environment
  variable.
* Update bash completion (closes: #502655).
* Add some tests and run them during build.
