++ new features
+- support Sources/Package.diff downloading

++ different small improvements:
+- log notifiers can be limited to a specific command with --via
+- upgradeonly value for FilterList to only include a package if
+ an older one is already there.
+- new --keepunusednewfiles to keep files just added to the pool
+ but later in the same run decided to no longer be needed
+ (for example because a package was not added because of later
+ detected errors).
+- --keepunreferenced and actions implying this now print
+ the number of files that lost their last reference
+- new dumpupdate and dumppull actions that are like checkupdate and
+ checkpull put with output easier parseable
+- new ls action to list a package in all distributions
++ bugfixes
+- if FilterFormula excludes a package, FilterList can no longer put
+ a package on hold.
++ improved decompression support
+- support looking into lzma compressed .deb, .diff and .tar files.
+- support for external helpers for uncompression
+ (to speed up uncompression on multiple processors, also reprepro
+ can now be compiled without libbz2 and zlib if needed)
+- support for downloading and using bz2 and lzma index files in updates
++ major changes to index file retrieval on updates:
+- iteratedupdate action was removed
+- update-rules can inherit settings from others
+- ListHooks are now called once per usage
+ (mostly only makes a difference for flat upstream repositories)
+- --nolistsdownload no longer includes --noskipold and checks checksums
+ of the lists files.
+- format of lists/ directory contents changed
+ (I doubt anyone cares for the files in there, but if you
+ do, you have been informed hereby that it looks differently)
+- lists/ directory no longer auto-cleaned,
+ thus --(no)keepuneeded longer exists and
+ new action cleanlists to clean files no longer usable...
++ visible effects of internal refactorisations:
+- multiple checks for identifiers more strict now
+- some fields in conf/distributions need a specific order now
+ (Architectures and Components before things using the values
+ defined by those)
+
+Updates between 3.6.2 and 3.6.3:
+- fix sha256 generation of very large files, thanks to Max Bowsher
+- allow multiple export hooks at once
+- use libgpg-error directly (to avoid some warnings in dependency analysis)
+
+Updates between 3.6.1 and 3.6.2:
+- --nooldfilesdb is the default now, create new repositories
+ with --oldfilesdb if you do not want to destroy them by accidentially
+ running reprepro versions before 3.0.0 on them...
+- fix content reading of overlong .deb files
+- fix parsing of flat repositories without Directory in Sources
+- fix tracking database corruption in removesrc with outdated tracking data
+ [previously believed hard to trigger, but outdated tracking data suffices]
+- many improvements and less spelling errors in manpage
+
+Updates between 3.6.0 and 3.6.1:
+- fix reoverride
+- fix bz2 compression (newer libbz2 sometimes uses more return codes
+ than previous versions, triggering a bug in reprepro)
+
+Updates between 3.5.2 and 3.6.0:
+- add IgnoreHashes option
+- allow list to list all packages if not package name specified.
+- support retrieving packages from flat repositories
+- speed up updating by buffering zlib's reading of index files
+- remove iteratedupdate
+- multiple little but nasty bugs fixed
+
+Updates between 3.5.1 and 3.5.2:
+- fix bug in optionsfilename generation introduced in 3.5.1
+- add FakeComponentPrefix to cope with apt's problems with
+ / in distribution names.
+
+Updates between 3.5.0 and 3.5.1:
+- support upcoming version 3 format source packages
+ (priority and section extraction only for wig&pen and quilt format)
+- set environment variables REPREPRO_*_DIR when calling hooks.
+ (note that those are set to the last set values, so for example
+ REPREPRO_CONF_DIR will be the directory with 'distributions' in it,
+ not necessarily the one with 'options' in it that was parsed).
+- other minor bugfixes
+
+Updates between 3.4.2 and 3.5.0:
+- allow suite names as command line arguments
+ (when there is not codename of this name and only one distribution
+ has this suite name)
+- generate and check Sha256, too.
+- changestool puts Files: last in .changes files so etch's dupload
+ works.
+
+Updates between 3.4.1 and 3.4.2:
+now really fix the nasty bug with notifiers 3.4.1 should
+have fixed and be more verbose when rejecting packages because
+of problems with a key
+
+Updates between 3.4.0 and 3.4.1:
+bugfixes only (though of the ugly segfaults kind)
+
+Updates between 3.3.2 and 3.4.0:
++ bugfixes:
+- no longer mix up -S and -P command line arguments (introduced in 3.0.1)
+- some field overriding was erroneously case dependent.
+- many spelling corrections
++ improvements:
+- more support for Checksums-Sha1
+- add copysrc and copyfilter commands (improve copy w.r.t tracking)
+- add restore restoresrc restorefilter and _addpackage commands
+- warn about some impossible -A -T combinations.
+- set fake Suite: in snapshots to quiet apt's signature checks.
+- add REPREPRO_CAUSING_FILE environment variable in log notifiers.
+- update expected fields to new dpkg-dev
+- try to extract missing section and priority of .dsc files from
+ .diff.gz and .tar.gz.
+
+Updates between 3.3.1 and 3.3.2:
+- bugfix in includedeb and a little bit code cleanup
+
+Updates between 3.3.0 and 3.3.1:
+- multiple bugfixes
+
+Updates between 3.1.0 and 3.3.0:
+- add support for different checksums.
+ The new checksums.db which stores all the checksums, while
+ files.db still only stores md5sum and is the canonical information,
+ when it exists. This way repositories keep backward compatible.
+ A repository generated with --nooldfilesdb only has checksums.db
+ and will not work with reprepro version prior to 3.3.
+ New command collectnewchecksums to calculate checksums missing
+ in the database.
+
+Updates between 3.0.1 and 3.1.0:
+- add sha1 hashes to the generated Release files.
+ the changes semantics needed in the release.caches.db file for this
+ should be transient. This will only cause index files without
+ uncompressed variants to be regenerated once upon upgrade, but
+ switching back and forth between previous versions and this or
+ later versions will cause regenerating of unchanged files.
+- internal changes of reading of text files (.dsc/.changes/Release/
+ control from .deb). Should not make any difference with normal input,
+ and make the situation better with strange input.
+- source packages now can have .tar und .diff lzma compressed
+ (still missing is support for lzma compressed binary packages)
+
+Updates between 3.0.0 and 3.0.1:
+- the default for --export is now "changed", as the old default was
+ just too confusing most of the time.
+- translatefilelist know also can convert databases with old and new
+ style entries
+
+Updates between 2.2.4 and 3.0.0:
+- new config file parser:
+ * many error messages now with line numbers
+ * native support of comments (i.e. lines starting with # are now ignored,
+ instead of treated as ignored headers, # within lines is now comment, too)
+ * better support of tabs
+ * meaning of empty fields changed, empty now means nothing and not all.
+- always parse the whole distributions file first before doing anything else
+ (avoids actions started in the wrong base directory and helps to catch more
+ disambiguities, may lead to the need of a valid config file for some actions
+ not needing one, though).
+- check pull and update rules to not list any architectures or components that
+ will never be used, so typos won't go unnoticed.
+- obsolete --overridedir and searching files in overrides/ directory by default.
+ This places are still search, but so is the configuration directory now and
+ future version will stop accepting --overridedir and not search in that
+ directory.
+- added db/version file to document database format
+ (so future versions can warn about incompatibilities)
+- cleaned up tracking handling a bit:
+ * retrack no longer created tracking data for distributions without tracking
+ * retrack only recreates usage data, not all data
+ (so .changes files and old versions are no longer lost when run)
+ also references from tracking data are now refreshed by rereferences instead
+ * removealltracks now needs explicitly needs distribution names
+ * tidytracks now removes all tracking data from a distribution without tracking
+ * clearvanished removes tracking data from vanished distributions.
+- make update's ListHook relative to confdir (unless absolute)
+- added removesrc and removefilter
+- new format for contents.cache.db. Only needs half of the disk space and runtime
+ to generate Contents files, but you need to run translatefilelists to translate
+ the cached items (or delete your contents.cache.db and let reprepro reread
+ all your .deb files). Also format and meaning of the Contents-fields changed, a
+ rate no longer can be specified.
+
+Updates between 2.2.3 and 2.2.4:
+- [SECURITY] fix bug causing a Release.gpg with only
+ unknown signatures considered as properly signed.
+
+Updates between 2.2.2 and 2.2.3:
+- add support for binNMUs (i.e. .changes files having a Version: that is not
+ the source version).
+- add zsh auto-completions script
+
+Updates between 2.2.1 and 2.2.2:
+- processincoming can be limited to a single .changes file
+- fix to support apt-methods stating Send-Config: false
+- set GPG_TTY when stdin is a terminal to ease usage of pinentry-curses
+
+Updates between 2.2.0 and 2.2.1:
+- fix mixup of the name of the --spacecheck option
+- fix missing options in bash completions
+- fix segfault when including changes without notificators
+
+Updates between 2.1.0 and 2.2.0:
+- renamed cleartracks in removealltracks
+- new notifier type for accepted changes files
+- bugs fixed:
+ * not tidy tracking dependencies on package remove
+ * forgot to call some slow notifiers in processincoming
+- new --wait-for-lock option
+- check free space on update (new --spaceheck option to switch this off)
+- extended the changestool helper (add, adddsc, addrawfile, setdistribution)
+- processincoming changes:
+ * reports and error if a package is not included due to an already existing
+ newer version.
+ * allow ignoring of unused files and newer versions (Permit:)
+ * option when to delete rejected or faulty package (Cleanup:)
+- include command names incldued .changes files like processincoming does
+
+Updates between 2.0.0 and 2.1.0:
+- add --silent option
+- change some status output to stdout instead of stderr.
+- fix some uncessary exporting of index files
+- fix bug in term parsing (for FilterFormula and the like)
+- add Log: mechanism to log to file and execute external helpers
+- example-script to generate a packages.debian.org/changelogs like
+ hierachy with changelog and copyright files.
+
+Updates between 1.3.1 and 2.0.0:
+- add "adddeb" action to changestool
+- fix bug in manpage ("accept" should have been "allow" for uploaders)
+- new AlsoAcceptFor:-header for conf/distributions to allow more fine
+ controled which distributions to allow than just codename/suite
+ or everything (via --ignore=wrongdistribution)
+- fail cleanly when getting a .dsc without Format header
+- fix bug in non-libarchive filelist extraction on large lists
+- add processincoming command to scan an incoming directory and add
+ packages from there. (this needed some refactorisations of other
+ code, so beware)
+- add gensnapshot command
+
+Updates between 1.3.0 and 1.3.1:
+- bugfix in changestool updatechecksums
+
+Updates between 1.2.0 and 1.3.0:
+- now uses libgpgme11 instead of libgpgme6.
+- remove --onlyacceptsigned switch (soon to be be replaced by something
+ useable, hopefully)
+- only reject a package because of signatures if it only has bad signatures
+ and no good one. (Rejecting a package because of a missing key when
+ it would have processed without signature did not really make sense)
+- new --ignore=brokensignatures to also accept packages with broken signatures
+ without any valid signature.
+- Now looks at the Binary: and Version: fields of a .changes file.
+ Unless the new --ignore=wrongversion is specified, a dsc must
+ have the same version, and a .deb must have this source version
+ unless --ignore=wrongsourceversion is given. A .deb must also
+ contain a package listed in the Binary: header unless
+ --ignore=surprisingbinary is given. (A .dsc with an different name
+ or a .deb with an different Source than the Source-header if the
+ .changes file is still not ignoreable due to file naming issues)
+- FilterList in update and pull rules now has a space separated list
+ of filenames instead of only a single filename.
+- new Uploaders field in conf/distributions:
+ specifies what a .changes file has to be signed with to be allowed in
+- new helper program "changestool" to preprocess .changes files.
+
+Updates between 1.1.0 and 1.2.0:
+- improve message of missing files
+- checkin now support .tar.bz2, .diff.bz2 and .tar.bz2
+ (checkindsc did not care, binaries may contain tar.bz2 if reprepro
+ is compiled with libarchive and libbz2)
+- fix bug delaying full Contents- generation
+
+Updates between 1.0.2 and 1.1.0:
+- extended the (experimental) package tracking feature
+- cleartracks removes files losing their last reference (unless --keepunreferenced as usual)
+- fix bug of not generating a uncompressed Sources line in Release when no uncompressed
+ Sources file is generated.
+
+Updates between 1.0.1 and 1.0.2:
+- fix segfault in non-libarchive code introduced with 1.0.0
+
+Updates between 1.0.0 and 1.0.1:
+- add clearvanished command
+- cope with GNU ar style .deb files (when using libarchive)
+- cope with strange control.tar.gz files (when not using libarchive)
+
+Updates between 0.9.1 and 1.0.0:
+- reject some .changes earlier, delete added files
+ when checks after copying files to the pool failed.
+- handle some signals (TERM, ABRT, INT and QUIT) a bit
+ more gracefully
+- some little fixes in the documentation
+- add predelete action to delete packages that would be
+ deleted or replaced in an update
+- add new copy command to copy a single package from
+ one distribution to another.
+
+Updates between 0.9.0 and 0.9.1:
+- fix bug in post-export script handling.
+- fixed documentation in tiffany.example how to generate
+ .diff directories the new apt can read.
+
+Updates between 0.8.2 and 0.9.0:
+- added --export= option and harmonized exporting of
+ distributions. (Now every distribution processed
+ without errors is exported by default, with options
+ for always, never or only export it when changed)
+- added pull and checkpull actions.
+ Those are roughly equivalent to upgrade rules with
+ file:/path/to/basedir Method, but faster and a bit
+ more limited (files cannot change components)
+- fix segfault of checkupdate
+- fix including a changes file with source and restricting
+ to some binary distribution or to binary package type.
+- add support to use libarchive instead of calling ar and tar
+- added Contents file generation support
+- now supporting libdb-4.4, libdb-4.3 and libdb3
+
+Updates between 0.8.1 and 0.8.2:
+- mark process list files and only skip those not marked
+ as processed instead those not newly downloaded.
+- change the wording of some warnings, add some new
+- new WORKAROUND part in the manpage
+- add example bash_completion script
+
+Updates between 0.8 and 0.8.1:
+- some bugfixes (segfault, memmory leak, manpage typos)
+- enforcement of extensions of include{,dsc,deb,udeb} files
+ to .changes,.dsc,.deb,.udeb and new --ignore=extension to
+ circumvent it.
+- support generation of the NotAutomatic field.
+- added --ignore=missingfile to ignore files missing in
+ a .changes file, but lying around and requested by
+ a .dsc file.
+
+Updates between 0.7 and 0.8:
+- unless the new --keepdirectories option is given,
+ try to remove pool/ directories that got empty by
+ removing things from them. (To be exact, try to rmdir(2)
+ them every time, which will only work if they are empty).
+- Unless the new --noskipold is used, only targets with newly
+ downloaded index files are updated. (new = downloaded
+ by the instance of reprepro currently running)
+- reprepro now always puts the checksums of the uncompressed
+ index files into the Release file, even if it is not
+ written to disk. This fixes some problems with newer
+ versions of apt. (Take a look at DscIndices to get older
+ versions of reprepro to please them, too).
+- The export hooks (the programs specified as DebIndices,
+ UDebIndices and DscIndices) are now always called once
+ with the uncompressed names.
+- to compile reprepro with woody without a backported zlib
+ use the -DOLDZLIB switch.
+- reprepro now supports bzip2 output natively. (You can
+ still use the example if you want to call bzip2 yourself
+ instead of using the libbz2 library)
+- new db/release.cache.db file storing md5sums of written
+ index and Release files there. (This can cause Release
+ file give old md5sums when the files are not what it
+ expects, but unless you manually changed them that is
+ a good way to find errors, and manually changing if
+ fragile anyway, so better do not do it but ask me
+ if some feature is missing overrides cannot offer yet).
+
+Updates between 0.6 and 0.7:
+- new --ignore=missingfield,brokenold,brokenversioncmp,
+ unusedarch,surpisingarch
+- Fix segfault when update file is empty.
+ (Thanks to Gianluigi Tiesi for noticing this.)
+- improve manpage a little bit
+- many little tidy ups
+
+Updates between 0.5 and 0.6:
+- no longer set execute bit of generated Release.gpg files
+- use REPREPRO_BASE_DIR for default basedir, parse conf/options
+ for further default options. (and add --no options to disable
+ boolean options again, same for ignore)
+- new command createsymlinks (for symlinks like "stable"->"sarge")
+- parse FilterList default action correctly
+- putting .changes in a distribution not listed is now an error
+ without --ignore=wrongdistribution (and without
+ "ignore wrongdistributions" in conf/options)
+
+Updates between 0.4 and 0.5:
+- starts of source package tracking
+- add quick&dirty --ask-passphrase option
+- SignWith's argument is now used, use "yes" or "default" to get old behaviour
+- allow ~ in versions listed in .changes files
+
+Updates between 0.3 and 0.4:
+- minor bugfix: no longer readd existing packages, when after a delete rule
+ a old package was found first.
+- adopt short-howto to changes in keywords.
+- many tidy ups and little bugfixes
+- add Fallback option to specify another host to get mirrored files from
+- default basedir is now "." i.e. the current directory.
+
+Updates between 0.2 and 0.3:
+- Override: SourceOverride: replaced by (Deb|UDeb|Dsc)Override
+- new command reoverride to reapply override information.
+- sometimes be a bit more verbose
+- new experimental iteratedupdate command , which is a variant of
+ update but needs less memory.
+- to ignore Release signature failures two --force's are needed now.
+
+Updates between 0.1.1 and 0.2:
+- _md5sums command got removed. New command to dump
+ the contents of the files database is _listmd5sums
+- --basedir (alias -b) will no longer override prior
+ given values to --confdir, --listdir, ....
+- fix nasty overflow bug
+- write Release, Packages, and Sources files first
+ to .new variants and move then all at once.
+- new Options DebIndices DscIndices UDebIndices
