+1.2.0 (unreleased)
+------------------
+
+- APT properties now cache what packages have been explicitly installed and
+ removed this deployment. This should significantly speed up many
+ deployments. User properties which install or remove packages by calling
+ apt-get(8) or dpkg(1) directly might inadvertedly render the lists of
+ properties installed and removed invalid. Such properties should be changed
+ to call or apply the new APT:KNOWN-INSTALLED-REMOVED-PACKAGES-RESET property
+ to invalidate the cache.
