+Version 0.4.1 "Divers Alarums"
+- New features:
+
+ * Assertion failures should print the failing assertion after
+ shutting down curses rather than before.
+
+ * The --purge-unused option is now provided as a synonym for
+ -o Aptitude::Purge-Unused=true.
+
+ * aptitude will now support ddtp if it is compiled against a version
+ of apt that supports ddtp.
+
+ * Setting the Aptitude::Cmdline::Resolver-Dump option to a filename
+ will cause the command-line mode of the program to dump a snapshot
+ of the resolver state to that file before attempting to resolve
+ dependencies.
+
+ * Setting the Aptitude::GC-Debug option will cause the garbage
+ collector to print voluminous debugging information as it searches
+ for unused packages.
+
+- Bug fixes:
+
+ * Eliminate two deadlocks caused by the background resolver thread
+ trying to wait for itself. (Closes: #340067, #342319)
+
+ * Never select a version that was removed but not purged and is no
+ longer available as a candidate version. (Closes: #340385)
+
+ * Eliminate a corner case where the resolver could produce solutions
+ that were supersets of previous solutions.
+
+ * If an EOF is encountered while waiting for a media-change from the
+ command-line, signal media change failure instead of aborting.
+
+ * Don't ever use the minibuffer to display the list of packages
+ adjusted by the resolver (Closes: #341292).
+
+ * If the menu bar is auto-hidden, don't automatically unhide it when
+ the user clicks in the first row of the display; instead, pass the
+ clicks to the sub-widget. (Closes: #341475)
+
+ * Enable colors on terminals where COLOR_PAIRS < COLORS*COLORS but
+ COLOR_PAIRS >= 64.
+
+ * Honor -y when the resolver runs out of time at the command-line.
+
+ * Make "cancel" at the "download complete" dialog actually cancel.
+
+ * Fix a portability bug due to cross-platform variation in the
+ members of sigaction (Closes: #337536)
+
+ * Fix how keybindings are parsed: keybinding names are now
+ case-insensitive and single-character keybindings are parsed
+ correctly. (Closes: #339131)
+
+ * Add spaces after various minibuffer prompts.
+
+ * Add a link from the search patterns documentation to the
+ command-line reference.
+
+ * When saving the package states, properly handle the case in which
+ the state file didn't previously exist. (Closes: #337869)
+
+ * Don't segfault when the user updates the package lists while a
+ solution examiner is open. (Closes: #338441)
+
+ * Trust any package version for which at least one source is trusted
+ (Closes: #337982).
+
+ * Work around apt bug #339533 to avoid an aptitude
+ segfault. (Closes: #339648)
+
+ * Fixed the assertion failure message printed when an inconsistency
+ is detected because a supposedly broken dependency isn't broken (it was incorrect).
+
+ * If a --schedule-only operation fails, print any errors that
+ occurred before exiting.
+
+ * Document the new backslash behavior in help.txt. (Closes: #337810)
+
+ * Document that "default" can be used as a background color.
+
+ * Correct the names of the problem-resolver control knobs in the
+ documentation.
+
+- Translation updates:
+
+ * Chinese (Simplified) (Closes: #339140)
+
+ * Dutch (Closes: #337629)
+
+ * Italian
+
+ * Galacian (Closes: #337656)

+ * Lithuanian (Closes: #341051)

+ * Slovak (Closes: #338527)
