commit 04dcfd52355ca06143a8aaca4afd718a22fb0ded
Merge: 02a6910f f2c87504
Author: Julian Andres Klode <jak@debian.org>
Date:   Tue Apr 7 10:18:27 2026 +0000

    Merge branch 'no-basic-string-view' into 'main'
    
    hashes: Use std::span instead of std::basic_string_view
    
    See merge request apt-team/apt!562

commit f2c87504c4c3517a8420d789e40411f74fe45e19
Author: Julian Andres Klode <jak@debian.org>
Date:   Tue Apr 7 11:46:07 2026 +0200

    hashes: Use std::span instead of std::basic_string_view
    
    std::basic_string_view should not be initialized locally, only
    in the std library. Replace it with a simple span instead.
    
    This should fix compilation with LLVM 18+.

commit f0c71b95ca00bae2b364c4b4858c51d84b002387
Author: Julian Andres Klode <jak@debian.org>
Date:   Tue Feb 24 19:25:21 2026 +0100

    Drop warning about unstable CLI interface
    
    A specific CLI version can now be requested using the --cli-version
    flag, and old versions can be deprecated on a reasonable cadence.
    Therefore, a warning is no longer necessary.

    Merge branch 'phased-update-probability' into 'main'
    
    Fix Phased-Update-Percentage probability mistake
    
    See merge request apt-team/apt!560

commit df55da00262a7a6b7f885e3fc66559767761cae5
Author: Anders Kaseorg <andersk@mit.edu>
Date:   Thu Mar 26 23:45:07 2026 -0700

    Fix Phased-Update-Percentage probability mistake
    
    Previously a package with Phased-Update-Percentage: n would be updated
    with probability (n + 1)/101 instead of n/100.  For example, a package
    with Phased-Update-Percentage: 0 could still be updated even though it
    shouldn’t, and a package with Phased-Update-Percentage: 1 would be
    installed almost twice as much as it should be.  Correct the erroneous
    math.
    
    Note that libstdc++ implements std::uniform_int_distribution in such a
    way that for a given seed, changing dist(0, 100) to dist(0, 99) has
    the effect of decreasing each sample by 0 or 1; therefore, this patch
    will not randomly trigger extra phased updates that had previously
    been excluded.
