dctrl-tools (2.7) experimental; urgency=low
The grep-dctrl package has now been renamed to dctrl-tools. The
reason is simple: there is now more than one tool in the package.
The new tool is sort-dctrl, and it does what you might think. See
the manual page for more information.

grep-dctrl (2.6.6) unstable; urgency=low
Version number comparisons are now supported. This subsumes the
earlier support for numeric comparison, since the version comparison
routine handles it as a special case.

grep-dctrl (2.6.1) experimental; urgency=low
This version introduces a new program, sync-available, whose function
is to sync the dpkg's available database with apt's database (sort of
dselect update without dselect).

grep-dctrl (2.3) experimental; urgency=low
Numeric comparisons are now supported.

grep-dctrl (2.2) experimental; urgency=low
Grep-dctrl now supports using the output of a specified
command as the default input. As a result, a
grep-aptavail command has been introduced; it uses APT's
available database like grep-available uses dselect's
available database.

grep-dctrl (2.0) unstable; urgency=low
This entry describes changes since the last version in stable, 1.9,
released in July 2001.
Grep-dctrl has been completely rewritten. It is now faster than
before, in some cases even an order of magnitude faster, and it is now
much easier to add new features.
Speaking of new features, the major addition since 1.9 is the ability
to use the full descriptive power of propositional calculus to
combining searches. Basically, putting --and between two old-style
searches combines them with AND, and --or does the same with OR.
There is also a --not. See the grep-dctrl(1) manual page for more
information.
The option -c now is synonymous with --count.
There is a new -d switch that selects for display the _short description_
(the first line of the "Description" field).
Grep-dctrl now adheres to the same exit value conventions as grep(1).
It also supports GNU grep's -q and --silent options.
