+propellor 0.8.3 released with [[!toggle text="these changes"]]
+[[!toggleable text="""
+   * The Debian package now includes a single-revision git repository in
+     /usr/src/propellor/, and ~/.propellor/ is set up to use this repository as
+     its origin remote. This avoids relying on the security of the github
+     repository when using the Debian package.
+   * The /usr/bin/propellor wrapper will warn when ~/.propellor/ is out of date
+     and a newer version is available, after which git merge upstream/master
+     can be run to merge it.
+   * Included the config.hs symlink to config-simple.hs in the cabal and Debian
+     packages."""]]
