unattended-upgrades (0.89) unstable; urgency=medium
[ Michael Vogt ]
* Add `Unattended-Upgrade::Remove-New-Unused-Dependencies` that
defaults to "yes". This ensures that older kernel
get automatically cleaned up and /boot will not overflow.
LP: #1267059
* Remove downloaded deb packages after successful installs.
This can be controlled via the option:
`Unattended-Upgrade::Keep-Debs-After-Install`
(Closes: #809428)
* Only remove debs in the cache dir
[ Steffen Köhler ]
* Allow to configure sender email via `Unattended-Upgrade::Sender`
[ Antti Riikonen ]
* Minor typo fix in comment
[ Cleto Martin ]
* bugfix: non-ascii chars in dpkg log file crashes unattended upgrades
Closes: #812857
[ James Valleroy ]
* Set debconf value for auto updates based on current configuration.
[ Alexandre Detiste ]
* update French transalation
