apt-show-versions (0.16) unstable; urgency=low

   [ Andreas Hoenen ]
   * Harden code regarding releases for which properties like their name are
     unknown, thus avoiding perl warnings about uninitialized values.  Thanks to
     John V. Belmonte and Anders Boström for reporting.  (Closes: #515328)
   * Fix manpage encoding: create UTF-8 manpages for all supported languages.
     Thanks to Vincent Danjean for reporting and the patch.  (Closes: #524577)
   * Fix function name in bash completion file in order to become POSIX
     compliant and to work for Bash 2.  Thanks to Emilio Pozuelo Monfort for
     reporting and the patch.  (Closes: #531608)

     succeeds in version extraction.

     Upgrade Standards-Version: 3.8.1 (no changes needed)

apt-show-versions (0.13) unstable; urgency=low

   [ Andreas Hoenen ]
   * Replace hardcoded list of supported release names by dynamic determination
     of used release names.  This enables (among others) automatic support for
     oldstable and for unofficial repositories.
     (Closes: #161934, #165883, #200274, #344262, #396216, #475880)
   * Improve output format of option -a:
     - Avoid repetition of the default-release version.
     - Strictly sort versions by version number as primary criterion.
     - Enforce tabular layout.
     - Add an archive column to output.
   * Sort output by package names.
   * If specified package is not only not installed, but even not available
     (e.g. a misspelled package name), dump an accordant comment.
   * When called with exactly one package and upgradeable option set for a
     package that actually is not upgradeable, return with non zero exit code.
     (Closes: #464047)
   * Correct combination of upgradeable and allversions options: If a package is
     not upgradeable, without regard of allversions option nothing gets printed
     for it.
   * Add --regex-all variation of option --regex: also show matching packages
     which are not installed.
     (Closes: #460272)
   * Actualize french manual page.  Thanks, Jean-Baka Domelevo Entfellner.
     (Closes: #460631)
   * Actualize swedish manual page.  Thanks, Daniel Nylander.
     (Closes: #470379)
   * Actualize spanish manual page.  Thanks, Rubén Porras Campo.
     (Closes: #470765)
   * Actualize FSF address in a-s-v script.
   * Actualize my mail address in debian/control.
 
   [ Christoph Martin ]
   * call closedir from correct position (closes: #479255)

apt-show-versions (0.12) unstable; urgency=low

   [ Andreas Hoenen ]
   * Add lenny to list of known releases names.  (Closes: #457916)
   * debian/copyright:
     Actualize the location of the license file: GPL-2.
   * debian/control:
     Upgrade Standards-Version: 3.7.3 (no changes needed)
   * debian/rules:
     - Remove commented binary-arch actions.
     - Move the binary-arch actions to binary-indep, as apt-show-versions is an
       architecture independent package.
