apt updates - Release notes?

[displaced]

Hi,

I currently have cron-apt set up to check for updates regularly and email me whenever updates are available. I've then got a Webmin custom command to let me trigger the actual package update.

This is great - but there's one thing I feel I'm missing and I hope is available. Although the output from apt tells me what packages are available to be installed, it doesn't give me any idea what's changed or what the update addresses. Is there any way to get this information about an updated package on apt?

Many thanks,
Chris

Maybe you could use something like apt-listchanges


sudo apt-get install apt-listchanges
sudo dpkg-reconfigure apt-listchanges
