+  [ Experimental https support in http ]
+  The http method will eventually replace the curl-based https method, but for
+  now, this is an opt-in experiment that can be enabled by setting
+  Dir::Bin::Methods::https to "http". Known issues:
+    - We do not support HTTPS proxies yet
+    - We do not support proxying HTTPS connections yet (CONNECT)
+    - IssuerCert and SslForceVersion are unsupported
+  TLS code paths can be disabled by setting Acquire::AllowTLS to "false".
+
+  [ Release Info Changes ]
+  If values like Origin, Label, and Codename change in a Release file,
+  update fails, or asks a user (if interactive). Various
+  --allow-releaseinfo-change are provided for non-interactive use.
