+
+  * New upstream release
+    - Not quite a Debian bug, but IMPORTANT: I have made the "new" command
+      style the default!  If you have modified your configuration this should
+      not be an issue, but if you haven't and you prefer the old style, look
+      in the "UI Options" menu.
+    - Translations are probably all screwed up in this release; many strings
+      changed.  Sorry :-(
+    - The Y/n command-line prompt now is more capable: you can enter the
+      full UI or modify package selections from it.  Enter '?' at it for a
+      complete description.  (Closes: #136916)
+    - The '+' keybinding is no longer used to reinstall packages, ever.
+      Use 'L' if you really want to reinstall something. (Closes: #138122)
+    - An "unhold" command is now available from the command-line.
+      (Closes: #137770)
+    - A tripartite joeyh bug:
+      * Tasks and sections which have 'descriptions' now display them in
+        the "long description area".  (some of the descriptions I've written
+        for sections are a bit hokey, though)
+      * The Tasks tree previously hid many packages due to a parsing bug,
+        making it virtually useless.  This is now fixed.
+      * The "alien" section has a description now.
+        (Closes: #136684)
+    - Added a %H escape for display areas.  It expands to the current
+      computer's hostname.  (Closes: #137754)
+    - In command-line mode, suppress the prompt on upgrades when there are
+      no actions to be taken.  (Closes: #137302)
+    - Fixed a bug that caused packages being reinstalled to not be listed
+      in the preview screens.  (Closes: #138120)
+    - Fixed (read: rewrote to dehackify) the description widget's formatting
+      code.  (Closes: #137783)
+    - If the user aborts an update, the cache is reloaded before returning to
+      the display.  (Closes: #138070)
+    - The default value of autoclean is really "false" again.
+      (Closes: #138685)
+    - Fixed a rather nasty segfault due to running off the end of the package
+      list.  How I didn't notice this for so long, I don't know.
+      (Closes: #136967)
+    - Eliminated an infinite loop that occured if the user tried to scroll
+      the description while it was hidden.  (Closes: #140361)
+    - The "install" command-line option now checks whether you entered a valid
+      package name before deciding whether to treat trailing '+'/'-'/'_'/'='
+      characters as commands.  (Closes: #140933)
+    - You can no longer focus an unscrollable description widget, and the
+      highlight bar in the package tree is hidden when the tree loses focus.
+      (Closes: #136550)
+    - "aptitude --help" now documents the "download" command.
+      (Closes: #138150)
+    - The status messages on startup are now suppressed when using
+      "aptitude search".  (Closes: #136873)
+    - When the download is stalled, "stalled" is now displayed in the progress
+      bar (Curses frontend only)  (Closes: #136520)
+    - The command-line mode deals correctly with window resizes now.
+      (Closes: #137945)
+    - No longer displays an "available" version for obsolete/local packages.
+      (Closes: #120872)

+    - Fixed a minor display bug in the download summary: the total time
+     always had an extra "s" appended to it.  (Closes: #135567)
+    - Removed the INSTALLATION section from the manual.  On the other

+      user feedback (Closes: #126492)  There may be more work to do here.
+
+    - Mark all upgradable packages to be upgraded BEFORE resolving
+      dependencies.  This fixes a somewhat complex misbehavior
+      involving ORed version-specific dependencies.  (Closes: #108379)
+
+    - Changed the symbols for collapsed/opened trees to something that I
+      hope is less ambiguous.  (Closes: #120890, #102033)
+
+    - When editing a string, the cursor now starts at the beginning
