Previously this would result in a "no such package"
error.
+ * New aliases for some command-line options:
+ --yes, for --assume-yes (apt-get)
+ --default-release, for --target-release (apt-utils)
+ --install-on-startup, for -i
+ --update-on-startup, for -u
+
+ * New configuration item:
+ Aptitude::CmdLine::Sorting, equivalent to --sort
+
+- Minor bugs:
+
+ * handle "-qq" like other apt-utils
+ * properly process all -o command line options (Closes: #587671)
+ * unknown command line options trigger an error (Closes: #434502)
+ * --add-user-tag-to, --remove-user-tag-from are working;
+ no bug reports suggests that noone has noticed they
+ were broken, but they work now anyway
+
- Internal changes:
* Unified the way packages are selected from command line
arguments.
+ * Use apt's CommandLine parser
+
+ Previously aptitude was using it's own command line
+ parser implemented on top of getopt. Replacing this
+ with the standard apt class means there are no longer
+ subtle quirks with our parser (such as "-qq" not
+ being valid when it is fine for other apt programs).
+
- Cosmetic and UI bugs:
* [cmdline]: Use arch-qualified names for virtual packages in
