+What's New In python-apt 1.6
+============================
+
+Changed
+-------
+* Methods of :class:`apt_pkg.DepCache` now raise an exception if passed
+ objects belonging to a different cache, in order to avoid segmentation
+ faults or wrong behavior.
+
+ .. versionchanged:: 1.6.1
+
+ Starting with 1.6.1 and 1.7~alpha1, the exception raised is
+ :class:`apt_pkg.CacheMismatchError`, and :class:`apt.cache.Cache` will
+ automatically remap open packages and versions to a new cache.
+
+* Initial type hints
+
+* :attr:`apt_pkg.SourceRecords.files` now returns a
+ :class:`apt_pkg.SourceRecordsFile` object with getters instead of
+ a tuple (but it also emulates the tuple).
+
+Bugfixes
+--------
+* Various other fixes for segmentation faults
+* apt/auth.py: Protect against race with gpg when removing tmpdir
+ (Closes: #871585)
