apt (2.9.24) unstable; urgency=medium

  /etc/apt/trusted.gpg is no longer trusted. Setting the Dir::Etc::trusted
  option manually continues to work for some more time.

  sources.list(5) entries without the Signed-By field are deprecated;
  migrate any legacy entries to the deb822 .sources format. See the
  apt-secure(8) manual page for best practices for signer configuration.
  This deprecates the /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d directory.

apt (2.9.19) unstable; urgency=medium

  This release switches to OpenSSL for hashing and TLS, replacing the
  GnuTLS and gcrypt libraries.

  This release switches to Sequoia for OpenPGP verification on supported
  Debian platforms. A Sequoia policy override enabling SHA1 self-signatures
  until 2026 is included. To override the policy, the following environment
  variables and files are considered:

  * The APT_SEQUOIA_CRYPTO_POLICY environment variable, and failing that:
    - /etc/crypto-policies/back-ends/apt-sequoia.config,
    - /var/lib/crypto-config/profiles/current/apt-sequoia.config
  * The SEQUOIA_CRYPTO_POLICY environment variable, and failing that:
    - /etc/crypto-policies/back-ends/sequoia.config
    - /var/lib/crypto-config/profiles/current/sequoia.config

apt (2.9.15) unstable; urgency=medium

  This release stops using apt-key to verify the signatures.
  Final call to stop using it before it's gone next week.

  Please note that due to the switch to internal verification, APT now
  has the same requirements on files in trusted.gpg.d as for other .d
  directories: Only alphanumerical characters, '_', '-', ':' and '.'
  are supported, other characters such as '@' cause the file to silently
  be ignored.

apt (2.9.11) unstable; urgency=medium

  The ftp, rsh, and ssh methods have been removed. They have been unsupported
  and disabled since 1.8. Please, migrate to http(s) instead, or contribute
  an sftp method.

  If you need ad hoc access to a remote repository, you can usually run
  `python3 -m http.server` on that machine and use SSH port forwarding to
  run HTTP over SSH.

apt (2.5.2) unstable; urgency=medium

  Installing or upgrading a binary package now upgrades other binaries from
  the same source package if they have the same candidate version. You can
  disable this by setting `APT::Get::Upgrade-By-Source-Package` to `false`.

apt (2.4.0) unstable; urgency=medium

  GPG verification now first tries only the trusted.gpg.d keys, before
  then falling back to the legacy trusted.gpg keyring and issuing a
  warning to migrate keys if verification succeeded in the fallback.

apt (2.3.12) unstable; urgency=medium

  The solver will no longer try to remove Essential or Protected packages,
  any dependency problem that would need such a solution will have to be
  resolved manually.

  The "Yes, do as I say" prompt for removing essential packages has been
  replaced by an error message. The appropriate command-line option needs
  to be used instead.

  Thank you to Linus Tech Tips and System76 for bringing this issue
  to our attention.

apt (2.1.16) unstable; urgency=medium

  Automatically remove unused kernels on apt {dist,full}-upgrade. To revert
  to previous behavior, set APT::Get::AutomaticRemove::Kernels to false or
  pass --no-auto-remove to the command. apt-get remains unchanged.

  Packages files can now set the Phased-Update-Percentage field to restrict
  update rollout to a specified percentage of machines. Previously, this has
  only been available to users of Ubuntu's update-manager tool. See
  apt_preferences(5) for details and how to configure multiple systems to get
  the same updates. Phased updates are disabled in chroots for now to not
  break buildd-style setups.

apt (1.9.11) experimental; urgency=medium

  apt(8) now waits for the lock indefinitely if connected to a tty, or
  for 120 seconds if not.

apt (1.9.6) experimental; urgency=medium

  apt(8) no longer treats package names passed as regular expressions or fnmatch
  expressions, requiring the use of patterns (apt-patterns(7)) to perform complex
  searches. For ease of use, regular expressions starting with ^ or ending with
  $ continue to work.

  This fixes the problem where e.g. g++ could mean either "the package g++"
  or, if there is no g++ package, "all packages containing g". This change
  will propagate to apt-* after the release of Debian bullseye.

apt (1.9.5) unstable; urgency=medium

  Credentials in apt_auth.conf(5) now only apply to https and tor+https
  sources to avoid them being leaked over plaintext (Closes: #945911). To
  opt-in to http, add http:// before the hostname. Note that this will transmit
  credentials in plain text, which you do not want on devices that could be
  operating in an untrusted network.
