apt-listchanges (4.4) experimental; urgency=medium
* Performance improvement: don't parse and extract files from each deb
twice when network changelogs are enabled and we're displaying both
changelogs and news.
* As per the discussion in bug #1054108, enable version-number-based
parsing logic for local changelog files, not just for network
changelogs. To be clear: this applies only to changelog files, not
NEWS files.

apt-listchanges (4.3) experimental; urgency=medium
* Clean up database files and shapshots on purge. (Closes: #1053925)
* Capture list of debs properly in snapshots in APT mode.
* Save displayed entries to database and snapshot even when user cancels
update at the confirm prompt.
* Treat packages with the same package name but different architectures
as distinct. In most cases this won't make any difference, but it should
still be done this way so the edge cases are handled correctly.

apt-listchanges (4.2) experimental; urgency=medium
* Fix a bug in 4.1 which was causing the seen database to be corrupted
and causing repeat changelog entries to be displayed. (Closes: #1053812)
* Add new snapshot functionality for experimental releases. See
README.Debian for details.
* Fix for: a NEWS entry which matches an entry in the changelog file
should not cause processing of the changelog to stop.
* The database structure has been refactored to facilitate strong typing
hints and and also to make the database more robust and the code which
uses it clearer and more straightforward. When this release is
installed the old database is discarded. If you would like to
prepopulate the new database to speed up future apt-listchanges runs,
run `systemctl start apt-listchanges.service` as root.
* Adjust the logic for when we save changes out to the seen database.
Specifically, we need to attempt to save changes even when we haven't
displayed any changelog or news entries to the user, because it's
possible that we seeded the database while determining that nothing
should be displayed, and those seeds should be saved. At the same
time, however, don't rewrite the database when we haven't actually
made any changes.
* Revert setting the LESSSECURE environment variable, since it messes up
the terminal state of the user suspends and resumes apt-listchanges
running inside apt. (Closes: #1053863)
* Do some minor refactoring of the database populating script to make it
easier to unit-test and debug.
* Other minor non-functional fixes.
* Update Chinese (zh_CN) program translation. Thanks to Xiyue Deng.

apt-listchanges (4.1) experimental; urgency=medium
* Updated Portuguese translation of man page. Thanks to Américo
Monteiro. (Closes: #1053432)
* After releasing 4.0 we discovered that it fixes an additional bug.
(Closes: #988090)
* Updated Brazilian Portuguese translation of the program. Thanks to
Paulo Henrique de Lima Santana. (Closes: #1023988)
* Set the LESSSECURE environment variable to reduce potential security
exposure. Thanks to Christian Göttsche for the suggestion.
(Closes: #1003112)
* Updated German translation of man page and program. Thanks to Helge
Kreutzmann. (Closes: #1053606, #1053607)
* Improve performance for packages that don't have any changelog or NEWS
files.
* Improve performance when determining changelog entries for a package
that isn't already in the database of previously seen packages.
* Fix a bug in 4.0 which prevented the old, obsolete seen database file
(/var/lib/apt/listchanges.db) from being deleted on upgrade.
* Add a service which runs after installation to populate the APT seen
database from installed packages so they don't have to be populated
during upgrades, so interactive performance is faster for the user.
* When extracting changelog entries from a package that is being
upgraded, and neither the new or installed version of the package have
local changelog entries, and we are unable to fetch the entries for
the installed version of the package from the network, then attempt to
do version-based filtering of the entries from the network changelog
for the new version. (Closes: #1053696)
* Fix an instance of entries being displayed that shouldn't have been
because they are already present in the installed changelog files.
(Closes: #1053725)

apt-listchanges (4.0) experimental; urgency=medium
* New maintainer. (Closes: #981890)
* Overhaul how apt-listchanges determines which changelog and NEWS
entries to display to users.
(Closes: #478188, #748631, #760918, #1020858, #1023084, #1052986)
* Don't flash Gtk frontend window briefly without displaying anything.
(Closes: #514865)
* Allow Gtk frontend window to start hidden with `--hide' command-line
option or `hide' config setting.
* Flash or badge the Gtk frontend taskbar icon when content is ready in
the window.
* Fix broken `--filter' command-line option / `filter' configuration
file setting. It previously caused the program to crash when used.
(Closes: #1052569)
* Fix man page to no longer falsely state that `--latest' can only be
used with a single .deb file. In fact `--latest' works fine with
multiple .deb files.
* Don't assume that all binary packages from the same source have the
same changelog and news entries, thereby potentially failing to
display some messages to the user. (Closes: #383803)
* Flush output before prompting for install confirmation. Thanks to
Timon Reinold. (Closes: #1028474)
* Add a blank line after the "--- Changes for .. ---" headers to make
them stand out a bit more. (Closes: #880142)
* Dutch translation of the man page. Thanks to Frans Spiesschaert.
(Closes: #1033903)
* Romanian translation of the program. Thanks to Remus-Gabriel Chelu.
(Closes: #1034197, #1034241)
* Install Python files required by the application in the standard
location rather than a custom location, and use the standard Debian
mechanism for packaging a Debian package rather than custom packaging.
* Remove APT_HOOK_INFO_FD backward compatibility code that was obsolete
as of Debian 10.
* Fix some errant debug messages that were being printed even when
`--debug' wasn't specified.
* Code cleanup and improvement, including `flake8' and `pylint'
compatibility, (some) unit tests, and adherence to newer standards and
best practices.
* Remove TODO from /usr/share/doc/apt-listchanges since it's out-of-date
and unlikely to be useful to anyone.

apt-listchanges (3.14) unstable; urgency=low
* Add `--no-network' option that can be used to disable calls to
`apt-get changelog' (closes: #866583) and document it in the man page.
* Rework handling of the LESS variable: instead of overriding it, detect
if it contains harmful settings, and try to disable them by appending
`-+E' or `-+F' options (closes: #867144).
* Improve handling of configuration file by debconf-helper.py:
+ refactor the script and prepare for further changes;
+ increase priority of the `apt-listchanges/which' question to medium;
+ set the debconf's `seen' flag for items that already exist in the
configuration file;
* Add debconf support for the following configuration options:
`--no-network', `--reverse' (closes: #707668), `--headers',
and `--email-format'. Re-order the debconf questions.
* Depend on python3-debconf (closes: #867126) and check if the debconf
module can be successfully imported before running debconf-helper.py
in debian/config.
* Remove the `-k 60' option from po4a.cfg to disable generation of
outdated Spanish and Italian man pages (closes: #842996).
* Fix a typo in man page and unfuzzy translations.
* Update README.Debian and the man page to make it clear that in the
default installations only the NEWS entries are displayed during
upgrades (LP: #1662550).
* Update *.pot and .*.po files.
* Update Polish translations.
* Add debian/NEWS entry for the recent changes.

apt-listchanges (3.13) unstable; urgency=low
* Fix changelog parser to mark files as being in the Debian changelog
format *before* checking if the latest version has been seen already.
* Refactor apt-listchanges.py to remove duplicated code.
* Rewrite main loop of program in order to limit a number of calls to
`apt-get changelog':
1. First group packages by the source package and next process all binary
packages from the same source package at once.
2. Sort the packages in each group by their binary versions descending.
3. Exclude those of them whose versions were already seen or are lower
(except for the binnmu suffix) than the maximal version, i.e. the
version of the first package in the group.
4. Process the remaining packages until valid changelog or news entries
are found, and call `apt-get changelog' on the first package if and
only if no such changelog entries are found, and apt-listchanges is
not configured to display the news entries only.
* Override the LESS environment variable to make sure it does not contain
certain flags like -F that might cause less program to quit before even
user is able to see the files generated by the program.
* Fix an issue with showing changelog entries with unrecognised urgencies
(see #866358): map such an urgency to a non-zero value and use proper
`is None' check for testing the mapped value.
* Fix an exception, introduced in 2.87, occurring when the `--since' option
is used with the invalid number of `.deb' files. Clarify the error message
shown in such a case.
* In the `--verbose' mode when apt-listchanges is configured to display
`news' only append the informational notes to the news entries instead
of creating changelog entries.
* Don't permit `--since' and `--show-all' to be used together. Also make
sure that passing one of them in the command line overrides any eventual
config file setting related to the other one.
* Fix a spelling typo in `retrieve' (closes: #866644).

entries were filtered out' functionality introduced in version 3.3:
if the currently parsed file is not in the Debian changelog format,
than return an empty urgency from the changelog parser so that remaining
files are not omitted.
* Call python3 from /usr/bin in postinst and config scripts, as otherwise
the scripts might fail to load the debconf.py module (closes: #855069).

apt-listchanges (3.11~exp1) experimental; urgency=low
* Apply patch from Ubuntu to use the `apt-get changelog' command if the
extracted package does not provide changelog file.
* Enhance the above patch:
+ call `apt-get' with the `-qq' option, so that it won't put additional
lines at the top of changelog that prevented apt-listchanges from
recognizing it as valid Debian changelog;
+ fix invalid python2 syntax in exception handler;
+ set timeout (120 seconds) for the apt-get command, just in case;
+ capture stderr of apt-get and display it as part of apt-listchanges'
error message.

cannot be loaded. Thanks to synaptic shouldn't appear to hang any
more (closes: #836433).

* Fix the security issue introduced in version 3.2: make config and postinst
scripts create new directory (with the help of `mktemp') for the helper
Python script they execute (closes: #837534).
* When aptitude/synaptic/etc. is used to install new upgrades without being
restarted after apt-listchanges upgrade, it might happen that the value
of APT_HOOK_INFO_FD is still 0. Do not fail on such a value, but display
a warning instead (closes: #835046, LP: #1614191).

* Upload to unstable.
* postinst.in: don't call ucf when the new configuration file differs in
whitespaces only (closes: #823514).
* Update Dutch translation (closes: #823974).
* Introduce simple ALCLog class for consistent logging.
* Rename ALSeen.py into ALCSeen.py.
* More improvements of changelog files parsing:
+ don't try to parse `changelog.gz' file when `changelog.Debian.gz' was
successfully read, but all its entries were filtered out (e.g. because
they had already been seen, what can happen while processing binNMU-ed
packages);
+ also stop reading changelog file if the first non-empty line does
not contain valid Debian changelog header;
* Drop support for ancient *.deb files:
+ don't look for changelog files in `/usr/doc' directories;
+ assume all paths in tarballs created by `dpkg-deb --fsys-tarfile'`
will start with the `./' prefix.
* Regenerate *.pot and *.po files.
* Update Polish translation.
* Update debian/NEWS with a summary of the changes in versions 3.x.

apt-listchanges (3.2) experimental; urgency=medium
* Improve parsing of changelog entries: ignore Emacs stuff and comments
(closes: #336739), and try to recognize ancient changelog headers, so that
they are shown in the proper order when `--reverse --show-all' is used.
* Handle a few signals in apt-listchanges, and update the exit status check
in the apt config file to break the installation not only when the status
is equal to 10, but also when it is greater than 10 (closes: #816054).
* Move the code responsible for reading apt pipeline to new ALCApt module,
refactor it, and add support for reading from file descriptor given in
$APT_HOOK_INFO_FD instead of stdin. This requires InfoFD option to be
set in the apt configuration file.
* Avoid reopening /dev/tty when stdin/stdout is already attached to terminal,
make ttyconfirm use python's input() method instad, so that it should work
correctly when 'su -c apt-get' is used for upgrades (closes: #663738).
* Use named arguments in format strings to fix gettext warnings.
* Rework debconf handling not to use debconf as a registry (closes: #521403).
Introduce debian/debconf-helper.py, that gets inlined into postinst
and config, and use configparser module for reading and writing our
configuration file.

apt-listchanges (3.1) experimental; urgency=medium
* Drop root privileges when running commands spawned by browser,
xterm-browser, and xterm-pager frontends (closes: #456454):
+ a non-privileged user is selected by examining the APT_LISTCHANGES_USER,
SUDO_USER, and USERNAME environment variables;
+ if temporary directory name ends with '/0', then it is modified to end
with '/<uid-of-new-user>';
+ a few environment variables (HOME, SHELL, LOGNAME, TMPDIR, etc.)
are updated;
+ os.spawnl() call was replaced with subprocess.Popen() with its env, and
preexec_fn params set properly (BTW. this also mean that shell is no
longer involved in running the commands).
All the above steps are needed, because `su -c' cannot be used, because it
detaches from the controlling terminal...
The pager frontend still runs its command as root, so that it can be usable
in case of any errors in the implementation of the above logic.
* Update man page for the above change. Apply some other minor fixes to it.
* Close temporary files explicitly to have a chance to ignore an error when
the file has been removed already (closes: #772663).
* Exit with an error when invalid command line option is given.
* Permit '+' character in e-mail address while converting output to html.
* Move the code responsible for handling the seen database to new ALSeenDb.py
module and:
+ handle the fact that ndbm in python3 adds the '.db' extension by itself,
and update the postinst script to rename the spurious '.db.db' file
created by version 3.0 (closes: #820732);
+ increase reliability of saving database changes, and store the previous
version of the database in 'listchanges-old.db', also update the postrm
script for the new file;
+ add '--dump-seen' option to display the contents of the database to
stdout, and mention NFS-sharing in README.Debian (closes: #658444).
* Mention `NEWS and/or changelog' in README.Debian (closes: #743366), and
update the description of both the algorithm and recovery procedure.
* Standards-Version: 3.9.8.

apt-listchanges (3.0) experimental; urgency=low
* Switch to python3 (closes: #796061).
Merge James Lu's changes from his GitHub repository given in the
bug report. Apart from the basic python3 syntax related updates,
the change include replacing python-gtk2 and python-glade2 code
with python3-gi for gtk frontend;
* Use gettext() instead of lgettext() as a fix (or work-around)
for an issue with python3 concatenating or not concatenating
bytes to string depending on the current locale (see #818728).
* Fix mail fronted to use 8bit encoding rather than base64 one.
This requires python3 >= 3.5 for subprocess.run().
* Apply more python3 fixes for exceptions occurring in legacy,
non-UTF8 locales.
* Enhance GTK frontend to display different labels for news
items and changelogs.
* Display titles in all other frontends as well (closes: #341917).
Also make sure xterm-based frontends use the same settings as
their console-based equivalents.
* Handle local apt repositories with spaces in path (closes: #534434).
* Fallback to non-xterm frontends when $DISPLAY is not set.
* Drop support for deprecated frontends like w3m.
* debian/control:
+ rename X-Python-Version control field to X-Python3-Version
to get correct dependency on python3;
+ move dh-python from Build-Depends-Indep to Build-Depends,
it is needed for the clean target due to `dh --with python3';
+ sort dependency fields with the wrap-and-sort command.

* Use po4a for handling translations of man pages:
+ convert existing translations to *.po files, and unfuzzy them;
+ incorporate minor update of French man page by Alexandre Detiste
from bug#796061;
+ make sure the Italian translation is actually installed;
+ update Makefiles, and add build dependency on po4a.
* Fix encoding of non-ASCII mails (closes: #604922).
* Convert http(s) and ftp(s) URLs into links in the browser frontend
(closes: #587399). Additionally do the same CVE/CAN identifiers,
and switch to using https for the Debian BTS links.
* Introduce the --email-format option to optionally send mails in
the HTML format (closes: #689731).
* Rename the --save_seen option to --save-seen to match names of
other command line options that contain hyphens rather than
underscores (closes: #707667). Also rename --all to --show-all
to match the name of the configuration file option. (Both older
options are supported for backward compatibility, but no longer
documented in the man page).
* Enhance apt-listchanges(1) man page:
+ describe the format of the configuration file together with
possible values of boolean options (see #707667);
+ document that browser, pager, and xterm settings can include
arguments (closes: #784781);
+ disambiguate description of changes ordering (closes: #594844).
* Introduce --ignore-apt-assume option to disable switching into
non-interactive mode in case of `apt-get -y' (closes: #818712).
* Switch to the non-interactive mode when DEBIAN_FRONTEND environment
variable is set to "noninteractive". Add --ignore-debian-frontend
to disable this.
* Validate package names command line arguments (closes: #522700).
* Try to prompt for confirmation when exception occurs (closes: #479530).
* Update Polish translation.
* Cleanup debian/rules a bit.
* Drop useless build-dependency on libexpat1-dev.

* Check if filenames dict contains package name key before deleting it to
avoid exception (closes: #757203).
* Print "Reading changelogs" into stdout, not stderr (closes: #789160).
* Do not override the mail fronted with text when quiet mode is set and
the mail frontend is usable (closes: #502347, #788059).
* Handle the '--assume-yes' option of apt-get by using non-interactive
frontend and disabling confirmation (closes: #687443, LP: #788519),
and fix exception occurring on non-int value while parsing apt
'quiet=' line (closes: #604130).
* Switch debian/copright to the DEP-5 format.
* debian/copyright:
+ use https for Vcs-* fields, and link to cgit rather than gitweb;
+ remove remaining uploader;
+ bump Standards-Verrsion to 3.9.7 (no changes).
