+0.5.0 (2019-10-05)
+------------------
+
+ - 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
+
