0.7.2 (2020-11-28)

check whether tools like dpkg and apt are installed at startup
make it possible to seed /var/cache/apt/archives with deb packages
if a suite name was specified, use the matching apt index to figure out the package set to install
use Debian::DistroInfo or /usr/share/distro-info/debian.csv (if available) to figure out the security mirror for bullseye and beyond
use argparse in tarfilter and taridshift for proper --help output

0.7.1 (2020-09-18)

the hook system (setup, extract, essential, customize and hook-dir) is made public and is now a documented interface
tarball is also created if the output is a named pipe or character special
add --format option to control the output format independent of the output filename or in cases where output is directed to stdout
generate ext2 filesystems if output file ends with .ext2 or --format=ext2
add --skip option to prevent some automatic actions from being carried out
implement dpkg-realpath in perl so that we don't need to run tar inside the chroot anymore for modes other than fakechroot and proot
add ready-to-use hook scripts for eatmydata, merged-usr and busybox
add tarfilter tool
use distro-info-data and debootstrap to help with suite name and keyring discovery
no longer needs to install twice when --depkgopt=path-exclude is given
variant=custom and hooks can be used as a debootstrap wrapper
use File::Find instead of "du" to avoid different results on different filesystems
many, many bugfixes and documentation enhancements

minor bugfixes and documentation clarification
the --components option now takes component names as a comma or whitespace separated list or as multiple --components options
make_mirror.sh now has to be invoked manually before calling coverage.sh

do not unconditionally read sources.list stdin anymore
- if mmdebstrap is used via ssh without a pseudo-terminal, it will stall forever
- as this is unexpected, one now has to explicitly request reading sources.list from stdin in situations where it's ambiguous whether that is requested
- thus, the following modes of operation don't work anymore: $ mmdebstrap unstable /output/dir < sources.list $ mmdebstrap unstable /output/dir http://mirror < sources.list
- instead, one now has to write: $ mmdebstrap unstable /output/dir - < sources.list $ mmdebstrap unstable /output/dir http://mirror - < sources.list
fix binfmt_misc support on docker
do not use qemu for architectures unequal the native architecture that can be used without it
do not copy /etc/resolv.conf or /etc/hostname if the host system doesn't have them
add --force-check-gpg dummy option
allow hooks to remove start-stop-daemon
add /var/lib/dpkg/arch in chrootless mode when chroot architecture differs
create /var/lib/dpkg/cmethopt for dselect
do not skip package installation in 'custom' variant
fix EDSP output for external solvers so that apt doesn't mark itself as Essential:yes
also re-exec under fakechroot if fakechroot is picked in 'auto' mode
chdir() before 'apt-get update' to accomodate for apt << 1.5
add Dir::State::Status to apt config for apt << 1.3
chmod 0755 on qemu-user-static binary
select the right mirror for ubuntu, kali and tanglu

disable merged-usr
add --verbose option that prints apt and dpkg output instead of progress bars
add --quiet/--silent options which print nothing on stderr
add --debug option for even more output than with --verbose
add some no-op options to make mmdebstrap a drop-in replacement for certain debootstrap wrappers like sbuild-createchroot
add --logfile option which outputs to a file what would otherwise be written to stderr
add --version option

if no MIRROR was specified but there was data on standard input, then use that data as the sources.list instead of falling back to the default mirror
lots of bug fixes
