Since what Ubuntu version/release was created and available the apt command? It with the purpose to replace apt-get or offered how a new alternative against apt-get
I want the official post from Ubuntu.com indicating or announcing the "new" apt command, and the reason(s), it for historical documentation purposes.
Yes, I read some tutorials about the difference between them and the reasons, but not from the source (Ubuntu.com)
As indicated in the comments, it will be difficult to locate an "official announcement" of the release of apt. Second, apt is not created by the Ubuntu developers. It is a formal part of the APT package management system, maintained by Debian.
According to a blog post of Michael Vogt, developper for Deban (since 2000) and Ubuntu (since 2004), the new tool apt was introduced along with APT 1.0, which was released on 1 april 2014. It was included in Ubuntu 14.04 (with thanks to muru) but only publicized in later versions.
