Published in sid-release on 2024-04-22

apt (2.9.2) unstable; urgency=medium

  [ Julian Andres Klode ]
  * Output customization and color refactoring:
    - Also respect an APT_NO_COLOR variable
    - Add a --color, --no-color option
    - Add APT::Configuration::color helper to colorize things
    - Use APT::Configuration::color to apply color to output
    - Configure individual action colors using APT::Color::Action
    - apt.conf(5): Document the APT::Color scope
  * Introduce the new --audit error level
    - Add an "audit" error level, and change the default to notice
    - Add an --audit option to switch on audit logging
    - Add an audit message for missing InRelease files
  * Change the rendering for notices, warnings, errors:
    - i18n: Use Error:/Warning:/Notice: instead of E:/W:/N:
    - Render notices without (yellow) color, just in bold
    - Keep the entire error/warning/notice message bold
  * Other UI changes:
    - apt update: Show upgradable package count in bold
    - show: Highlight field names and colorize package name
    - Remove spurious newline inside `apt autoremove` message
    - Insert blank line following simulation note
    - Show "Upgrading:" before other sections
    - Only erase OpProgress lines in output version 3.0

2.9.1

Superseded in sid-release on 2024-04-23

apt (2.9.1) unstable; urgency=medium

  [ Julian Andres Klode ]
  * Further UX improvements for apt(8)
    - Estimate free space and issue warnings if exceeded, incl. /boot
      + Rename "Installed size:" to "Space needed:"
      + Space needed: Show space available in /usr
      + Show space estimate for /boot, if separate; or estimate initrd for /usr
      + Add warnings if space estimate exceeds free space
    - Show downgrades as yellow
    - Use "Continue anyway?" if a warning is queued, and default to N
    - Use unicode install progress bar on UTF-8 locales
  * Hide some of the output formatting and details from translatable strings,
    do expect some more translation churn in upcoming uploads.

  [ Rafael ]
  * Remove duplicate sentence "Changing held packages:"

2.9.0

Superseded in sid-release on 2024-04-14

apt (2.9.0) unstable; urgency=medium

  * Welcome to the APT 3.0 development series. It has a new UI for
    apt(8). It has colors, columnar display, some more padding, and
    shows removals last (Closes: #755088), making the output more
    easy to quickly scan.

  [ David Kalnischkies ]
  * Avoid subshell hiding failure report from testfilestats
  * Ignore umask of leftover diff_Index in failed pdiff test
  * Fix and unfuzzy previous VCG/Graphviz URI change

  [ Julian Andres Klode ]
  * Revert "Temporarily downgrade key assertions to "soon worthless""
    We temporarily downgraded the errors to warnings to give the
    launchpad PPAs time to be fixed, but warnings are not safe:
    Untrusted keys could be hiding on your system, but just not
    used at the moment. Hence revert this so we get the errors we
    want.
    This reverts commit 66998ed3d299bede651ad40368bdb270f5f5b0f9. (LP: #2060721)
  * columnar: Fix floating point exception (list is empty if -V)
  * OpProgress: Erase lines when done
  * apt: Introduce the new terse apt output format 3.0
  * Show Recommends/Suggests for upgrades too, move them down
  * Only show Recommends/Suggests for new installs, not upgrades
  * Use the same words for the summary

  [ Christian Blichmann ]
  * Columnar output for package lists similar to 'ls'

  * pkgcachegen: Use placement new to construct header to make

  * Add Conflicts: apt-verify.
    The APT team is very concerned about the encroachement of its
    namespace and the impact on security of its file verification
    process. We have expressed those concerns in the ITP bug, but
    the package was nonetheless uploaded and accepted, so we have
    to take this extraordinary step to protect our users.

  * Restore adduser dependency for bookworm.
    This caused some regressions to late in the bookworm cycle. To keep

    the base-password alternative rather than requiring both dependencies,
    as that could change resolving or ordering bugs. (Closes: #1035654)

    - Have values in Section config trees refer to them in all components
    - Add non-free-firmware component in documentation
    - Suggest using non-free-firmware in update for Debian
  * other bookworm regressions:
    - Bump codenames in docs in preparation for Debian 12
    - Detect trimmed changelogs and pick online instead (Closes: #1024457)
  * Do not store trusted=yes Release file unconditionally

  [ Miroslav Kure ]
  * Czech program translation update (Closes: #1031008)

  [ Bastian Germann ]
  * machine-readable version of COPYING (Closes: #1019273), initial version

  [ Julian Andres Klode ]
  * Update lintian override info format in d/apt.lintian-overrides
  * Further work on machine-readable COPYING file and the source code comments
    to address licensing inadequacies:
    - Address statements of public domain
    - po/nb.po: Relicensing GPL-2.0 -> GPL-2.0+. Thanks Petter for chasing
      down the copyright holders and getting agreement.
    - COPYING: Group by license
    - Address translation licensing concerns
    - COPYING: Address RunScripts()
    - We do not believe rsh was supposed to exclude GPL-3
    This unfortunately creates a bit of churn, but updating the COPYING file
    without addressing the actual licensing issues would not have solved the
    bug.

  [ Faidon Liambotis ]
  * Various fixes to http and connect method
    - basehttp: also consider Access when a Server's URI
    - connect: convert a C-style string to std::string
    - connect: use ServiceNameOrPort, not Port, as the cache key

  [ Julian Andres Klode ]
  * patterns: Add dependency patterns ?depends, ?conflicts, etc.
    Note that the -broken- variants are not implemented yet.
  * Rewrite of the kernel autoremoval code:
    - Determine autoremovable kernels at run-time (LP: #1615381), this fixes the
      issue where apt could consider a running kernel autoremovable
    - Automatically remove unused kernels on apt {full,dist}-upgrade.
      This helps ensuring that we don't run out of /boot space.
    - Only keep up to 3 (not 4) kernels.
      Ubuntu boot partitions were sized for 3 kernels, not 4.
  * Bump codenames to bullseye/hirsute and adjust -security codename for
    bullseye (Closes: #969932)
  * Ignore failures from immediate configuration. This does not change the
    actual installation ordering - we never passed the return code to the
    caller and installation went underway anyway if it could be ordered at a
    later stage, this just removes spurious after-the-fact errors.
    (Closes: #973305, #188161, #211075, #649588) (LP: #1871268)
  * Add support for Phased-Update-Percentage, previously used only by
    update-manager.
  * Implement update --error-on=any so that scripts can reliably check for
    transient failures as well. (Closes: #594813)

  * acquire: Do not hide _error messages in Fail()
  * Further improvements to HTTP method (Closes: #968220, verified against
    that server and the Canonical infra where it blocked buildds)
    - Do not use non-blocking local I/O - they don't do anything anyway,
      and we can't really use non-blocking I/O here because we need to be able
      to flush it.
    - Restore successful exits from Die() and rewrite Die() in a more
      comprehensible way, after careful code path analysis
    - http: Fully flush local file both before/after server read, avoiding
      both partial flush before sending requests to the server, as well as
      preventing leftover data before receiving from the server, which cause
      data left in the buffer.

apt (2.1.8) unstable; urgency=medium

  [ Julian Andres Klode ]
  * Fully deprecate apt-key, schedule removal for Q2/2022
  * apt-key: Allow depending on gpg instead of gnupg
  * Removal of racist terminology, except for two cases that still need consensus
  * Various fixes to http code:
    - http: Always Close() the connection in Die()
    - http: Die(): Merge flushing code from Flush()
    - http: Only return false for EOF if we actually did not read anything
    - http: Die(): Do not flush the buffer, error out instead
    - http: Finish copying data from server to file before sending stuff to server
    - http: On select timeout, error out directly, do not call Die()
    - http: Redesign reading of pending data
    - http: Always write to the file if there's something to write; this fixes
      a regression from removing the buffer flushing code
    Overall, there's hope this Closes: #959518. It reproduced a bit, but eventually
    snapshot.d.o ratelimiting kicked in and broke the test case.
