Changelog
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* Remove TODO from /usr/share/doc/apt-listchanges since it's out-of-date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.
