Change logs for apt-listchanges source package in Artful

  • 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        outdated Spanish and Italian man pages (closes: #842996).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).
