Version 0.4.11.3

Not looking back.

Crashes and serious errors:
- aptitude unhold should work now. (Closes: bug #477165)
- Fixed viewing changelogs at the command-line, which was almost totally broken in recent releases. (Closes: bug #481458)
- Fix getting the changelogs of bin-nmued packages from the curses interface. (Closes: bug #333468) For some reason when this was fixed for the command-line mode, the equivalent change didn't make it into the curses codebase.
- Don't die with an assertion error when --show-why is used in the presence of impure virtual packages.
Cosmetic and UI bugs:
- Always be at least as quiet as the user requested; when aptitude automatically enabled quietness if its output wasn't a TTY, it could actually become less quiet than otherwise! (Closes: bug #476749)
- If the user asks for the justification of a manually installed package, try to find a nontrivial answer (some other package that requires it) instead of just telling them that it's already installed. (Closes: bug #477038)
- Remove an incorrect hyphen in the output of --help. (Closes: bug #476835)
- When the resolver is run several times in a row without user interaction (for instance, in safe-upgrade), only print Resolving dependencies... once.
- When listing the complete chains of dependencies that are holding a package on the system, show A provided by B as A <-P B, not AP<- B. (i.e., add a space after A)
Build system fixes:
- VPATH should be supported better in doc/.
- Most files will generate Doxygen output now (they were missing \file tags).
Documentation bugs:
- Clarify how aptitude's search language behaves in some syntactic corner cases, like ~nname?installed: the ? is part of the string parameter to the first matcher, not the start of a new match term ?installed.
- Change the documentation of aptitude why: it shows why packages should be installed, not why they can be installed, and be clearer about what happens when why is called with a single argument.
- Fix the manpage to talk about Recommends-Important instead of Install-Recommends. (Closes: bug #480533)
