approx (2.9.0) unstable; urgency=low

  Configuration parameters in /etc/approx/approx.conf should now begin
  with '$' to distinguish them from repository names.  The old style is
  still accepted with a warning message.

  Several parameters have been added: $user, $group, $syslog, $verbose.
  See the approx.conf man page for details.

  The gc_approx program now removes empty subdirectories from the cache,
  simplifying the weekly cron job.

approx (2.06) unstable; urgency=low

  A new configuration variable, interface, forces approx to listen for
  connections on a specific network interface only.

  The approx server can now listen on privileged ports such as port 80.

  File: URIs are now supported in the approx.conf file.

  repositories.

approx (1.16) unstable; urgency=low

  The approx server now forks multiple processes to handle concurrent
  requests.  A new configuration variable, max_wait, can be used to
  specify how many seconds an approx process will wait for a concurrent
  download of a file to complete, before attempting to download the file
  itself.

approx (1.14) unstable; urgency=low

  The --foreground option allows approx to be run more easily from
  the command line, a debugger, or the runit init scheme.

approx (1.13) unstable; urgency=low

  The approx daemon always uses /var/cache/approx now;
  the cache directory can no longer be changed in the approx.conf file.
  But /var/cache/approx can be a symbolic link, so the cache directory
  can still be located elsewhere.
