debdelta (0.16) unstable; urgency=low
* debdelta_upgrade
- is faster (particularly on small debs - by avoiding calls to dpkg)
- avoids downloading deltas if not enough disk space for applying them
- identifies itself as User-Agent = 'Debian debdelta-upgrade'
* md5 generation and verification may be disabled by option --no-md5
* now temporary directories are of the form ${TMPDIR}/debdeltaXXXXXX
* better checking for exceptions

debdelta (0.15) unstable; urgency=low
* debdelta :
- faster on .debs with many many files ;
- better behaviour when 'out of disk space' errors occour
* debdeltas:
- added '--alt DIR' option, to say where older versions of .debs are
- added --clean-alt and --clean-deltas options
* debdelta-upgrade:
- if a delta fails, download the .deb
- sources are in /etc/debdelta/sources.conf or ~/.debdelta/sources.conf
* corrected many bugs

debdelta (0.13) unstable; urgency=low
* debdelta_upgrade: thanks to Michael Vogt, now uses APT caches at best
* debdelta & debpatch: many improvements
- divide data.tar in small chunks
- always use bsdiff (xdelta is buggy)
- gunzip .gz files in data.tar before delta, and gzip after
(the delta of debhelper 5.0.35 -> 5.0.36 was 80% of original .deb
before, now it is to 10%)

debdelta (0.12) unstable; urgency=low
* debdeltas: deltas failed due to not enough disk space will be retried
* debdelta: better use of MD5; and a filename similarity matcher,
when in computing difference of data.tar.gz (unfortunately, slower)
also, solves a bug
+ debdelta_upgrade: properly quote URLs (before, it seemed as if
a lot of deltas were not present in the archives!);
better HTTP handling

debdelta (0.11) unstable; urgency=low
* debdelta: (by faking 2nd part of tar headers), some improvement for .deb
with many small files
* debdelta-upgrade : while the thread is patching, also download some
.debs for which deltas are not available.

debdelta (0.10) unstable; urgency=low

debdelta (0.9) unstable; urgency=low
* debdeltas:
'-n N' option, to decide how many deltas to compute for each package ;
'--avoid file' option, to avoid packages from a dist
('file' is a Python database, that can be created with contrib/parse_dist )
* debdelta : corrected bug, now really skip conf files !
* debdeltas : corrected bug, was not exiting from forks !
-- A Mennucc1 <mennucc1@debian.org> Wed, 31 May 2006 14:13:39 +0200
debdelta (0.8) unstable; urgency=low
* 'debdelta' can use MD5 to exploit identical files that were renamed.
This can express the difference between tetex-doc 3.0-17 and 3.0-18
into 260kB , even though all the directory tree was moved around !
