What's New In python-apt 1.6
============================

Changed
-------
* Methods of :class:`apt_pkg.DepCache` now raise an exception if passed
  objects belonging to a different cache, in order to avoid segmentation
  faults or wrong behavior.

  .. versionchanged:: 1.6.1

    Starting with 1.6.1 and 1.7~alpha1, the exception raised is
    :class:`apt_pkg.CacheMismatchError`, and :class:`apt.cache.Cache` will
    automatically remap open packages and versions to a new cache.

* Initial type hints

* :attr:`apt_pkg.SourceRecords.files` now returns a
  :class:`apt_pkg.SourceRecordsFile` object with getters instead of
  a tuple (but it also emulates the tuple).

Bugfixes
--------
* Various other fixes for segmentation faults
* apt/auth.py: Protect against race with gpg when removing tmpdir
  (Closes: #871585)
