APT Changelog Viewer
View changelogs for installed Debian/Ubuntu packages. CVE and Debian/Ubuntu security-advisory references are highlighted so they are easier to find; a reference alone does not prove that a security fix is available or installed.
Search the installed package list by package name or package description.
Selecting a package reads up to 50,000 characters of its local changelog. Use Fetch online changelog to request a remote copy. The app asks before contacting the APT-configured changelog server and explains that it can see your IP address and the package name. The request uses APT's configured source; Apt Changelog Viewer does not install packages or upload a report.
Built with GTK4/Adwaita. Part of the Danne L10n Suite.
