What’s New In python-apt 1.1

This release is built against APT 1.1

Changed

• Starting with 1.1.0~beta1ubuntu0.16.04.2, depcache stops accepting objects belonging to a different cache; and candidates need to belong to the package they are being set for. This was necessary to avoid out-of-bounds indexes, but might break existing applications.

  For apt.cache.Cache, objects are remapped automatically when reopening to reduce the impact.

Removed

• The class apt_pkg.IndexRecords has been removed, as it was removed in APT 1.1

1.1.0~beta1ubuntu0.16.04.3

• New methods for frontend locking have been added: apt_pkg.pkgsystem_lock_inner(), apt_pkg.pkgsystem_unlock_inner(), apt_pkg.pkgsystem_is_locked().x
• apt.Cache.commit() and apt_pkg.DepCache.commit() now use frontend locking to run dpkg.
