Version 4.4 of apt-listchanges is now available for testing in
experimental (N.B., we released 4.3 and 4.4 a day apart because
something came up last-minute, so make sure to `apt update` before
installing so you get 4.4). It has both functional changes and bug fixes
in it.
Most notably, we've added version-number-based filtering of changelog
entries for local changelog files, whereas before it was being used only
for network changelogs. (Note that the version-number-based filtering in
this version of apt-listchanges is more cautious than the filtering in
3.27, to minimize the likelihood of failing to show the user something
they should have seen.)
In addition, there is a performance improvement when displaying both
news and changelogs.
Other changes are documented in the package's changelog.Debian.gz should
you wish to review them.
I am hoping this release is stable enough to build/release to unstable
after some end-user testing without any additional changes. We'll see!
Thank you,
Jonathan Kamens
