Changelog

 apt-listchanges (4.5) experimental; urgency=medium
 .
   * If the user has the `confirm` feature enabled and aborts the upgrade,
     the changes they were shown should be shown to them again when they
     rerun the upgrade. This restores the previous behavior, which was
     unintentionally changed in version 4.3.
   * Special-case handling of changelogs for `linux-image-*` packages to
     prevent us from displaying changelog entries we shouldn't, by trusting
     the version number sequencing in those changelogs.
     (Closes: #1055780)
   * Display binary NMU changelog entries. (Closes: #1063677)
   * Document the systemd timer and service in the man page, and reference
     the man page from the systemd unit files so it is displayed when
     someone does `systemctl help apt-listchanges.timer` or `systemctl help
     apt-listchanges.service`.
   * Update the man page to make it clear that `--which=news` is only the
     default when running as an APT plugin; otherwise the default is
     `--which=both`. (Closes: #1052514)
   * Updated program translations: Brazilian Portuguese courtesy of Carlos
     Henrique Lima Melara, Catalan courtesy of Carles Pina i Estany, Czech

   * Updated man page translations: Dutch courtesy of Frans Spiesschaert,
     French courtesy of Jean-Pierre Giraud. (Closes: #1055182, #1055240)
   * Updated Swedish debconf translation courtesy of Martin Bagge.
