APT 3.2 has been released as a stable version, introducing transaction history with rollback support. New commands include `apt history-list`, `apt history-info`, `apt history-undo`, `apt history-redo`, and `apt history-rollback`, allowing users to reverse, reapply, or roll back package operations. Additional additions include `apt why` and `apt why-not` for tracing dependency chains, per-repository package filtering via Include/Exclude options, and Solver3 now enabled by default. The release also prevents system sleep during dpkg operations and adds JSONL performance counter logging. APT 3.2 is currently available on Debian Sid and expected in Ubuntu 26.04 LTS.
