debbugs (2.4.2) UNRELEASED; urgency=low

  * Anthony Towns:
    - Add "package" command to service (control@) to limit the bugs that
      the following commands apply to.

  * Colin Watson:
    - Add (slightly) fancy CGI decoding of message/* MIME types.
    - CGI scripts now support multiple maintainers for a single package.
    - Add support for an X-Debbugs-No-Ack: mail header to suppress
      acknowledgements.
    - Document how to deliver mail to debbugs via procmail and SpamAssassin.
    - Implement new .status format that's extensible and easier to read; it
      now lives in .summary rather than .status. Use debbugs-upgradestatus
      to convert existing bug databases.
    - Implement bug ownership, with new 'owner' and 'noowner' commands
      (closes: #133453).
    - Install Debian configuration in the binary package's examples
      directory (closes: #222118).
    - New standalone SpamAssassin queue runner, spamscan.
    - Allow # prefix on bug numbers in 'merge' command.
    - Fix some ordering issues in old-style package pages and summaries.

  * Adam Heath:
    - Rewrite filtering in cgi's common.pl, to make it completely generic.
      Filtering can now work against any field.
    - Rewrite grouping logic in cgi's common.pl, to make it completely
      generic.  There is now no longer 2 nested loops, to do the grouping.
      This makes adding new grouping levels simpler for the future.
    - Add in a Table of Contents to pkgreport.cgi.
    - Display how long until a resolved bug will be archived in
      pkgreport.cgi.
    - Add user-agent detection.  This currently doesn't change anything,
      however.
    - Add options show_list_(head|foot)er.

debbugs (2.4.1) unstable; urgency=low

  * Colin Watson:
    - Exit the CGI scripts straight away if the HTTP method is HEAD, to save
      pointless work.
    - Display pending+fixed bugs as "fixed in NMU", not "pending upload".
    - Add a man page for debbugsconfig.
    - Report original tags when changing them, closes: #170630.
    - Add missing <ul></ul> tags to db2html's output, closes: #50746.
    - Add a 'submitter' command to service, based on a patch by Matt Kraai.
    - Remove the final use of cgi-lib.pl, so it's gone. Remove copyright
      notices that were there due to using it.
    - Accept ';' as well as '&' as a CGI argument separator.
    - db2html now works with the new hashed database layout.
    - Disable the fixed severity in favour of the tag.
    - MIME-encoded messages to bugs are displayed in decoded form on the web
      interface (unless the "mime=no" parameter is used), closes: #136114.
    - Add facility to search by tag.
    - Fix rebuild script and add it to the example crontab, closes: #139696.
    - Silence postinst warning if spool/db doesn't exist, closes: #194892.
    - Clean up the definition and use of $gCGIDomain, closes: #139697.
  * Adam Heath:
    - Convert all code to use global read/write functions, instead of having
      it duplicated everywhere.
    - Trim trailing whitespace from pseudoheader values.  Closes: #153590.
    - Warn when reassigning to an unknown package.  Closes: #60595.
  * Josip Rodin:
    - Added a terse=yes mode for bugreport.cgi, possibly useful for
      monstrously long bugs.
    - Purged needless date(1) forks, replaced with strftime.

debbugs (2.4) experimental; urgency=low

  * Updating the package with what's in CVS, even though this might
    completely break things for people who've been using the previous also
    broken package. <shrug> :) Upped the minor version since the changes
    are noticeable, and uploaded to experimental, just in case.
  * Applied speedup patch, that uses references, instead of copies.
    Thanks to Thomas Smith. Closes: #87176. [Adam]
  * Reverted some parts of the speedup patch because it breaks the API.
    [Anthony]
  * Bugs that are tagged fixed are now listed in a separate section in the
    web pages. Patch from Colin Watson. Closes: #86922. [Adam]
  * Added support for an additional Maintainers.override file, which is read
    after the normal one. This allows the normal one to be externally
    updated, but still have local overrides. [Adam]
  * Put <title> and </title> on the same line as the title since some lame
    browsers don't seem to like it otherwise. [Josip]
  * Include a mailto: URI in the header for a bug report. [Adam]
  * Added support for filtering on subject with include=subj:foo (exact
    match, case sensitive). [Anthony]
  * Added a missing http://, thanks to Julian Gilbey. [Anthony]
  * Use by-*.idx indices to speed up pkgreport.cgi. [Anthony]
  * Support "maint=" in pkgreport to give packages without a maintainer.
    [Anthony]
  * Updated Postfix documentation. [Darren]
  * Use two variables in order to reduce the amount of path hard-coding.
  * Added support for storing the files in a hashed directory (db-h), with
    the same hash layout as archive/. [Adam]
  * Added support for tracing of bug state changes. This date is in
    $gSpoolDir/debbugs.trace. It is locked (as debbugs.trace.lock) while
    accessed, and appended to. Currently, nothing uses this trace file and
    it isn't even cleaned up, which can be easily fixed with a simple cron
    job. [Adam]
  * Tell sendmail to queue outgoing mail for later delivery, instead of
    immediate delivery. [Adam]
  * Added a keywords header to outgoing email responses. [Adam]
  * Use Resent-From: if From: doesn't exist. [Adam]
  * Added appropriate Reply-To: lines for the ACK messages that could use
    them. [Josip]
  * Add $gUnknownMaintainerEmail to the list of maintainers to mail in case
    an package with no maintainer is referenced. [Adam]
  * processall locks 'incoming-cleaner' before starting, so we don't have
    multiple copies of it running at the same time. [Adam]
  * Sort bugs tagged 'pending' as 'pending upload', between 'forwarded' and
    'fixed'. [Adam]
  * Add support for searching by source package.  pkgreport.cgi takes src=,
    and both pkgreport.cgi and bugreport.cgi have enhanced HTML headers now.
    [Adam]
  * Add support in the CGIs for:
    * 'raw' sorting. This does no grouping based on status or severity, and
      just lists bugs in number order.
    * reversing the order that bugs are displayed. This does not affect
      severity or status ordering.
    * inclusions/exclusions of status and severity. Also, support reverse
      sorting of the above.
  * Make it possible to ban people from control@bugs. [Anthony]
  * Don't lie about missing Subject:s being an RFC822 violation, because
    they aren't. [Anthony, Josip]
  * Added preliminary support for ###-request. [Adam]
  * Added preliminary fast indexing support. [Adam/Anthony (?)]
  * Added preliminary support for CC:ing <src>@packages.qa.debian.org.
    [Anthony]
  * Added preliminary cloning support. [Anthony]
  * Link to submitter's web page, patch from Matt Kraai. [Josip]
  * The autoconfig thing in the description is gone, closes: #124537.
  * Fix viewing archived bugs by source package, closes: #121082, #146484.
    [Colin]
  * Depends: libmailtools-perl rather than mailtools, closes: #113028.
  * Add MIME support to process and service, and depend on libmime-perl as a
    result, closes: #36813. [Colin]
  * Trim Bug#12345: from the Subject:, not "Bug#12345: [", closes: #78123.
    [Anthony]
  * Be more careful about loop detection, closes: #113514. [Adam, Colin]
  * Relax the syntax for 'tags' slightly, since people seem to use it that
    way accidentally a lot, closes: #96164. [Colin]
  * Give better feedback from pkgreport.cgi when querying a non-existent
    package name, closes: #93433. [Colin]
  * Remove support for -fixed address from receive, since nothing else
    supports it. [Colin]
  * Prevent people from reading the first line of arbitrary files through
    bugreport.cgi, thanks to Max <rusmir@tula.net>. [Colin]
  * Add working-for-me instructions for exim setup on non-dedicated sites,
    together with Chad Miller's suggestions, closes: #78688. [Colin]
  * Fix a few typos, closes: #146745, #152751.
  * Update the copyright file with the current list of maintainers and a
    pointer to ViewCVS.
  * Remove lynx-cfg, and use 'lynx -cfg=/dev/null' instead. [Colin]
  * Various other things, not worth mentioning here.

debbugs (2.3-4) unstable; urgency=low

  * Added a check for unwanted characters in the part of request passed on
    to sendlynxdoc that gets passed to shell. [Josip]
  * Applied Rob Browning's patches to remove more Debian-only stuff,
    closes: #80077. [Josip]
  * Fixed the nextnumber misplacement (it should be in spool dir, not config
    dir), and added a note about running debbugsconfig after changes to
    config file, thanks to Rob for the hints. [Josip]
  * Changed Maintainer: to point to debian-debbugs. Added myself to
    Uploaders:. [Josip]
  * Fixed Lintian errors: file-in-etc-not-marked-as-conffile (except
    for lynx-cfg which is a gross hack anyway),
    virtual-package-depends-without-real-package-depends,
    debian-changelog-file-contains-user-emacs-settings.

debbugs (2.3-3) unstable; urgency=low

  * Fixed examples installation, debbugsconfig should actually work now,
    closes: #77126. [Josip]
  * Removed all traces of the package after purging, in postrm. [Josip]
  * Added pkgindex.cgi, package/maintainer/submitter indices. [Anthony]
  * Moved readparse to common.pl, since it's, well, common to all the cgi
    stuff. Other fixes in common.pl. [Anthony]
  * Moved some of the pkgreport.cgi logic from common.pl into pkgreport.cgi.
    [Anthony]
  * Random typo fixes in the CGIs. [Anthony]
  * Made the CGI scripts use the common.pl from their directory and not
    /usr/lib/debbugs nor ~ajt/newajbug. That stuff should actually _work_
    now, argh. [Josip]
  * Added bug subject and package name in closing messages. [Josip]
  * Fixed errorlib filename (removed the .in part), this stuff should
    actually _work_ now, argh. I shouldn't be repeating myself. [Josip]
  * Escape +'s in URLs, closes: #75220. [Anthony]
  * Skip checking for new installs or the config file, debbugsconfig needs
    to regenerate the HTML, and it will detect existing conffiles. [Josip]
