* 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).

* 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.

* 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

* 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 '/';
+ 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

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';

* 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:

* Update debhelper compatibility level to 4 and remove debian/conffiles
* Use debian/compat rather than DH_COMPAT
* Standards-Version: 3.6.1 (no changes needed)
* Add new debconf question to ask whether to display news, changelogs or
both. Ask it at low priority, and default to news (Closes: #222362)
* Adjust priorities and defaults of debconf questions to be less
intrusive, and oriented towards a wider range of users:
- Reduce priority of apt-listchanges/save-seen to low (almost
everybody seems to want the default)
- Reduce priority of apt-listchanges/email-address to low
(still mails root by default; scream if you think this should remain
medium)
- Reduce priority of apt-listchanges/confirm to low, and change the
default to false (no confirmation prompt)
- End result: an installation at priority medium or higher will
ask only one question (apt-listchanges/frontend), and display only
NEWS.Debian items to the user on upgrades, with no confirmation
prompt. Feedback welcome.
* Minor clarifications to some templates based on display of news as
well as changelogs. Mostly s/changelogs/changes/

* Refactor lots of code, with many tangible benefits
- Make only a single pass through the deb, extracting all files we

up processing of packages with only native changelogs (no
changelog.Debian
- OOPify several interfaces
- Use the gzip module rather than forking zcat (faster and cleaner)

likely be an option to display only NEWS entries and skip changelogs,
and different frontends will be able to display the news differently

frontends, using --email-address=me@there. If this option is not
specified, no mail is sent. An argument of 'none' overrides a
configured default. (Closes: #78448)
* --nosaveseen is gone. --saveseen now accepts an argument, which is
the database file to use, so you can use different databases for
different tasks. --saveseen=none will act like the old --nosaveseen.
* Get rid of the automake cruft and just do it by hand. Automake was
starting to do way too much unnecessary work
* Document the config file format
* Since this was as much a redesign as a rewrite, it is possible that an
old bug or two may have crept back in; some of the logic is fragile
due to lax standardization of certain aspects of Debian packaging. I
have squashed a few already as I have noticed them. Send in those bug
reports for ones that I may have missed.

apt-listchanges (1.60) unstable; urgency=low
* Added a --debug option to help with debugging future problems
* Work around tar's ridiculous globbing, so that we don't pick up things
that look like changelogs but are in a subdirectory of .../doc
(Closes: #118382)

* Don't get confused when there are no changelog entries for the
newly-installed version of a package. This should never happen, of
course, but it just did with cracklib2.

apt-listchanges (1.56) unstable; urgency=low
* Updated Galician translation of Debconf templates from Jacobo Tarrio
* Updated Spanish translations of Debconf templates and message catalogs

from Jordi Mallach

apt-listchanges (1.55) unstable; urgency=low
* Add fallback from xterm-pager to pager (Closes: #107211)
* Fallback from pager->text, not pager->mail (what was I thinking?)
* Rename apt.conf.d/20-apt-listchanges.conf to apt.conf.d/20listchanges
to meet the new filename restrictions in apt 0.5.4 (Closes: #109784)
* Build-depend on autoconf >= 2.50-1, and run autoconf2.50, to work with
the latest libtool

apt-listchanges (1.54) unstable; urgency=low
* Fix various harmless Perl warnings (Closes: #106047)
* No longer ship with #!/usr/bin/perl -w; it's more trouble than it's
worth in the wild.
* Do a secondary sort on package name after the upload urgency sort
(Closes: #106045)
-- Matt Zimmerman Sat, 21 Jul 2001 17:46:03 -0400
apt-listchanges (1.53) unstable; urgency=low
* Added a feature to keep track of which changelogs have already been
seen by the user, and accompanying debconf question, config file
option, and command line option. (Closes: #77161, #103537)
* A respectable bit of code cleanup. A rewrite is probably called for,
perhaps in a different language. We'll wait and see.
* Remember to read all of the pipeline data when using the 'none'
frontend (Closes: #105701)
-- Matt Zimmerman Tue, 17 Jul 2001 18:08:16 -0400
apt-listchanges (1.52) unstable; urgency=low
* Added support for APT_LISTCHANGES_FRONTEND environment variable to
allow easy frontend selection when apt-listchanges is being called by
another program.
* Added a new, snazzy frontend called 'none' which will cause
apt-listchanges to exit without doing anything.
* These two features can be used together to skip the changelogs for a
particular run. (Closes: #77988, #105423)

apt-listchanges (1.48) unstable; urgency=low
* Updated Galician translation of debconf templates, thanks to Jacobo
Tarrio
* Read .debs in the order in which apt will configure them. This lets
us find changelogs in the new perl, and may speed things up a bit for
packages where .../doc/foo -> bar and foo Depends: bar.
(Closes: #98442)
* Fix up Makefile.in to work with the latest automake. Use _SCRIPTS
instead of _PROGRAMS, which I should have probably done in the first
place.
-- Matt Zimmerman Tue, 22 May 2001 21:29:39 -0400
apt-listchanges (1.47) unstable; urgency=low
* Add Estonian translation of message catalogs, thanks to Ivar Smolin
* Make sure we read all of the piped data from apt, even if we are just
going to exit because we won't do anything. If we don't, apt thinks
we broke. (Closes: #96114)
-- Matt Zimmerman Wed, 2 May 2001 18:14:40 -0400
apt-listchanges (1.46) unstable; urgency=low

apt-listchanges (1.45) unstable; urgency=low
* Skip "Local variables" section at end of changelog. Really, this
should never show up anyway, since we won't usually be displaying the
last entry in the changelog. It seems to come up anyway, usually
during weird package splits/merges and the like. (Closes: #93332)
* Still read the status file, even if we are getting some information
from the apt pipeline. apt doesn't give us the source package
version, which we need to do our job. Darn. (Closes: #93790)
* Miscellaneous fixes to work with the most recent automake

apt-listchanges (1.43) unstable; urgency=low
* Added --version and --help options (Closes: #90929)
* Automatically substitute package version from changelog into
configure.in, so that it doesn't fall out of sync when I forget to
update it.

apt-listchanges (1.42) unstable; urgency=low
* Added Finnish translation of message catalog, thanks to Jaakko
Kangasharju
* Make urgency comparison case insensitive (to deal with urgency values
like HIGH, used by a recent xfree86 upload). This caused "Use of
uninitialized value" warnings when such a value was encountered.
-- Matt Zimmerman Tue, 20 Mar 2001 20:08:19 -0500
apt-listchanges (1.41) unstable; urgency=low
* Fixed an uninitialized value warning in the newt frontend

apt-listchanges (1.40) unstable; urgency=low
* Don't display the per-package headers by default, as they can get in
the way of an easy visual scan. Instead, they can be turned on using
the -h or --headers command line options. Edit
/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/20-apt-listchanges.conf and add the option there
if you want the headers back. (Closes: #89821)
* Add missing build-dependency on the new perl
-- Matt Zimmerman Thu, 15 Mar 2001 23:33:43 -0500
apt-listchanges (1.39) unstable; urgency=low
* Prevent an obscure warning that only happened if apt-listchanges was
run unconfigured.
* Fix urgency sorting (broken in 1.36, I think)
-- Matt Zimmerman Thu, 15 Mar 2001 01:21:22 -0500
apt-listchanges (1.38) unstable; urgency=low
* The text frontend will no longer display a progress indicator, so that
its output can be usefully redirected to a file.
* If APT::quiet has been set (e.g. by apt-get -q), apt-listchanges will
force the text frontend to be used, so that apt-get -q output will be
loggable.
* Closes: #89511
-- Matt Zimmerman Tue, 13 Mar 2001 17:25:04 -0500
apt-listchanges (1.37) unstable; urgency=low
* Parse the urgency value correctly, even when there are multiple

apt-listchanges (1.36) unstable; urgency=low
* Show which binary packages relate to the source packages for which
changes are being displayed (Closes: #85572)
* Now -w clean, as far as I can determine. This may cause some warnings
to be displayed under certain circumstances now; I will try to fix
them as they come up.
-- Matt Zimmerman Sun, 11 Mar 2001 03:27:03 -0500
apt-listchanges (1.35) unstable; urgency=low
* Added Galician translation of message catalogs, thanks to Jacobo

apt to abort unless we really want to. (Closes: #88784)

apt-listchanges (1.34) unstable; urgency=low
* We now interface with apt by dropping a conffile in
/etc/apt/apt.conf.d. This allows us to avoid sharing a config file
with anyone else, and to have a defined execution order in relation
to, e.g. dpkg-preconfigure.
* debian/control: depend on apt (>= 0.5.3)
* debian/control: depend on debconf (this should have been there long
ago)
* debian/rules: install /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/20-apt-listchanges.conf
* debian/postinst: updated for apt 0.5 (no more apt.conf hackery!)
* debian/postinst: added apt-mode-run config option, necessary for the
new way of interfacing with apt
* apt-listchanges.in: added apt-mode-run config option
* Added Spanish translation of message catalogs, thanks to Jordi Mallach
* apt-listchanges.sgml: Clarify the meaning of the --apt option

apt-listchanges (1.19) unstable; urgency=low
* Change the name and meaning of the config file variable 'confirm' so
that it only applies to apt mode. A config file default for this
