138 - Fixed a nasty resolver bug that would cause solutions to be chosen
139 poorly in some cases involving self-conflicts. (Closes: #483920)
141 - "aptitude search" now takes a command-line argument
142 "--disable-columns" that prevents aptitude from padding or
143 truncating strings to line text up into columns. This makes
144 the output much more script-friendly. (Closes: #136874)

281 - Fix task handling in the case that different versions of a package
282 have different task fields. (Closes: #459348)

582 search trees. (Closes: #418385)
584 * Automatically enable Keep-Recommends when --without-recommends is
585 passed on the command-line. As a practical matter, this means that
586 --without-recommends no longer tries to remove a bunch of packages.

656 * Eliminate the crashes due to inconsistencies in the dependency
657 resolver. (Closes: #420358, #420381, #420407)
659 Also added checks for errors that occur in the dependency resolution
660 thread, so the program can cleanly generate an error message instead
661 of blowing up, and improved the errors generated by consistency checks
662 to include more context information.
664 * Eliminated a crash with the revdep column generator (Closes: #420405).
666 * Add DPKG_NO_TSTP to the environment when doing a package-configure run
667 after something failed, so "Z" backgrounding works at the conffile
668 prompt. (Closes: #357042)
670 * Fix how bolding is performed in the docbook templates for manpages;
671 this made the manpages completely unreadable when built with a newer
672 Docbook (Closes: #415468, #416232).

679 a new test case to ensure that the bug did not recur. As it turned
680 out, this test case revealed that both the old and the new code

694 This is triggered by the installer, so probably this update

713 - Update the fix for signal blockage during configure to
714 work when a package install fails (in which case the
715 previous release ran dpkg --configure -a with signals blocked).
717 * Many editorial fixes to the user's manual and updates to the
718 Japanese translation by Noritada Kobayashi. There is a Japanese
719 version of the manual in the source tree, but this upload does not add
720 a new documentation package.

1914 for finding the cause of this bug.
1915 I may have missed some bugs that need to be closed by hand (this

1962 - Parsing of bold colors is fixed. (Closes: #168287)
1963 - "aptitude install <task-name>" installs all packages in the task.
1965 - Added a (mostly untested) "-t" argument, which should behave in
1966 the same manner as apt-get's "-t" argument. (Closes: #151583)
1967 - Included da.po updates from Morten Bo Johansen <mojo@image.dk> and

2020 aptitude (0.2.11-1) unstable; urgency=low
2022 * New upstream release
2023 - Not quite a Debian bug, but IMPORTANT: I have made the "new" command
2024 style the default! If you have modified your configuration this should
2025 not be an issue, but if you haven't and you prefer the old style, look
2026 in the "UI Options" menu.
2027 - Translations are probably all screwed up in this release; many strings
2029 - The Y/n command-line prompt now is more capable: you can enter the
2030 full UI or modify package selections from it. Enter '?' at it for a
2031 complete description. (Closes: #136916)
2032 - The '+' keybinding is no longer used to reinstall packages, ever.
2033 Use 'L' if you really want to reinstall something. (Closes: #138122)
2034 - An "unhold" command is now available from the command-line.
2036 - A tripartite joeyh bug:
2037 * Tasks and sections which have 'descriptions' now display them in
2038 the "long description area". (some of the descriptions I've written
2039 for sections are a bit hokey, though)
2040 * The Tasks tree previously hid many packages due to a parsing bug,
2041 making it virtually useless. This is now fixed.
2042 * The "alien" section has a description now.
2044 - Added a %H escape for display areas. It expands to the current
2045 computer's hostname. (Closes: #137754)
2046 - In command-line mode, suppress the prompt on upgrades when there are
2047 no actions to be taken. (Closes: #137302)
2048 - Fixed a bug that caused packages being reinstalled to not be listed
2049 in the preview screens. (Closes: #138120)
2050 - Fixed (read: rewrote to dehackify) the description widget's formatting
2051 code. (Closes: #137783)
2052 - If the user aborts an update, the cache is reloaded before returning to
2053 the display. (Closes: #138070)
2054 - The default value of autoclean is really "false" again.
2056 - Fixed a rather nasty segfault due to running off the end of the package
2057 list. How I didn't notice this for so long, I don't know.
2059 - Eliminated an infinite loop that occured if the user tried to scroll
2060 the description while it was hidden. (Closes: #140361)
2061 - The "install" command-line option now checks whether you entered a valid
2062 package name before deciding whether to treat trailing '+'/'-'/'_'/'='
2063 characters as commands. (Closes: #140933)
2064 - You can no longer focus an unscrollable description widget, and the
2065 highlight bar in the package tree is hidden when the tree loses focus.
2067 - "aptitude --help" now documents the "download" command.
2069 - The status messages on startup are now suppressed when using
2070 "aptitude search". (Closes: #136873)
2071 - When the download is stalled, "stalled" is now displayed in the progress
2072 bar (Curses frontend only) (Closes: #136520)
2073 - The command-line mode deals correctly with window resizes now.
2075 - No longer displays an "available" version for obsolete/local packages.
2077 - aptitude now recognizes the "--version" option. (Closes: #141296)

2084 - You can now access many features of aptitude from the command line.
2085 See "aptitude help" and/or aptitude(1) and/or the README for details.
2086 - The "p" package state is documented (Closes: #135112)
2087 - Sorted out the ~r matcher status. Some people like the old behavior,
2088 so it's been reinstated; you can find out what packages would be
2089 or have been garbage-collected via ~g now. (Closes: #135571)
2090 - Fixed a minor display bug in the download summary: the total time
2091 always had an extra "s" appended to it. (Closes: #135567)
2092 - Removed the INSTALLATION section from the manual. On the other
2093 hand, the space it used is more than taken up by the documentation for
2094 the new command-line stuff. I could move that elsewhere -- let me
2095 know what you think, Joey. (Closes: #136478)

2102 tried to follow Suggests and remove unused packages at the same time.

2104 immediate problem. A more complete fix may be hashed out in the future.

2148 - Packages which are held, but not broken, are now visually flagged
2149 as being broken. I believe this is enough of a fix for this
2150 particular bug. (Closes: #120785)
2152 There is more to do in general, but there are other bugs filed
2155 - Log messages now include the date and time. (Closes: #120874)
2157 - Re-ordered the preview screen's grouping to hopefully put more
2158 interesting things first and be more logical. Feedback requested.
2161 - Rewrote several sections of the documentation, incorporating some
2162 user feedback (Closes: #126492) There may be more work to do here.
2164 - Mark all upgradable packages to be upgraded BEFORE resolving
2165 dependencies. This fixes a somewhat complex misbehavior
2166 involving ORed version-specific dependencies. (Closes: #108379)
2168 - Changed the symbols for collapsed/opened trees to something that I
2169 hope is less ambiguous. (Closes: #120890, #102033)
2171 - When editing a string, the cursor now starts at the beginning
2172 of the line. (Closes: #120890)

2180 - Corrected a misspelling in the options dialog (Closes: #120887)
2182 - Fixed a misspelling in de.po (Closes: #123644)

2185 than the width of the display, and the last item on the display.

2202 faxmodems. (Closes: #121951)

2335 * The "deity is kaput" upload. I was going to wait until the previous
2336 upload went into testing, but deity is not being fixed and not being
2337 fixed...which seems to be keeping the new apt and thus the new aptitude
2338 out of testing. Bleah.
2340 * New upstream release
2341 - Fixed the situation with Default-Grouping being undocumented and
2342 overriding the preview grouping. Closes: #110704
2343 - Fixed matching with ~ahold and ~areinstall. Closes: #111466
2344 - It's tempting to close 104092, because the categorical browser
2345 has bad lynx-like bindings...but they suck and aren't consistent
2346 with the rest of the program. So there.

2352 * The "hey, Mr. Testing Bot, please move my code soon!" upload.
2353 * Backported fixes from CVS:
2354 - Deleted some nasty debug code that didn't compile on ia64.
2356 - Finally found and fixed the (simple and stupid) bug that was
2357 preventing autoclean-on-update from working properly.
2359 * Urgency high. Yes, this is an evil hack. But these changes will
2360 not break aptitude, and I intend to upload a version containing massive
2361 changes as soon as this is safely in testing.

2368 * So the deity folks kindly went and bumped the soname, thus breaking all
2369 software compiled against previous versions. So aptitude has to be
2370 recompiled. (and I was so close to getting into testing, too.. :( )

2378 - Oops, getopt_long returns an int, not a char. Storing it in an int

2428 - The package list will retain its selection upon being resized.
2430 - Fixed a crash triggered by a word in a package description
2431 longer than the width of the screen. (libhtml-munger-perl was
2432 the culprit) Closes: #103961
2433 - Mark broken dependencies using text as well as color. Closes: #79047
2434 - Make the menubar visible when no screen is active, even if it's set
2435 to autohide. Closes: #102918
2436 - Changing a package's status should advance to the next package.
2438 - aptitude can now automatically become root (with the root password,
2439 of course) -- I believe this should address the issue of starting it
2440 from the Debian menu. Closes: #71948

2463 aptitude (0.2.0-1) unstable; urgency=low
2465 * New upstream release. This is still missing a few things -- in
2466 particular, some translators haven't caught up yet.
2467 * This one goes into unstable. Much rejoicing (I hope)
2468 * libsigc++-dev added to Build-Depends, since we need it now.
2470 * I believe that the code to prevent installation from proceeding
2471 while packages are broken will avoid these situations where the
2472 problem resolver does stuff behind the user's back.
2473 Closes: #87774, #96559
2474 * Most of the code has been rewritten. If these old bugs and
2475 crashes are still around, it's pure coincidence, and I can't reproduce
2476 any of them. (I suspect they weren't even present in the latest 0.0.x
2478 Closes: #60156, #63358
2479 * I believe that all known problems with displaying dependencies have
2480 been addressed. Closes: #68628
2481 * I'm sure that aptitude purges itself completely by now. Closes: #66711
2482 * The download progress screen has been rewritten, and will now scroll
2483 to keep the currently downloading item in view. Closes: #69131
2484 * Errors are now collected into a single big dialog box, so even if
2485 there are hundreds, there's no confusion about whether the program
2486 crashed. (incidentally, I still can't figure out where this
2487 "tried to dequeue a fetching object" comes from) Closes: #71314
2488 * Essential: yes packages are now hard to remove (at least when you
2489 first select them..if they get removed by the problem resolver, you
2490 won't get asked, but that should be hard to do. Closes: #86115
2491 * I think most of the problems with bad search patterns are finally
2492 fixed (knock on wood) This one is, at least. Closes: #95455
2493 * I believe that the restructuring of the UI also eliminated the
2494 occasional crashes when installing from an info screen. (knock on
2495 wood again) Closes: #100187
2496 * Fixed the signed-char problems from 0.1.9. Closes: #101398
2497 * The rewritten download progress screen should report 404 errors. At
2498 least, it works for me.. Closes: #102109
2499 * You can now ask aptitude to run an autoclean operation after updating
2500 the package lists (which I think is the right time to do it)
2502 * Prompt-On-Exit has been fixed since 0.1.9. Closes: #101394
2503 * This includes Michal Politowski's new Polish translations.
