+  * Started work on Debhelper v8. It is still experimental, and more
+    changes are planned for that mode.
   * dh_installman: Support .so links relative to the current section.
   * dh_installman: Avoid converting .so links to symlinks if the link
     target is not present in the same binary package, on advice of 
     Colin Watson. (To support eventual so search paths.)
   * Add deprecation warning for dh_clean -k.
+  * dh_testversion: Removed this deprecated and unused command.
+  * debian/compress files are now deprecated. Seems only one package
+    (genesis) still uses them.
+  * dh_fixperms: Tighten globs used to find library .so files,
+    avoiding incorrectly matching things like "foo.sources". Closes: #583328
+  * dh_installchangelogs: Support packages placing their changelog in a
+    file with a name like HISTORY. Closes: #582749
+  * dh_installchangelogs: Also look for changelog files in doc(s)
+    subdirectories. Closes: #521258
   * In v8 mode, do not allow directly passing unknown options to debhelper
     commands. (Unknown options in DH_OPTIONS still only result in warnings.)

     not itself normally look, will be passed to it, a behavior change which

   * In v8 mode, dh expects the sequence to run is always its first parameter.

     This avoids ambiguities when parsing options to be passed on to debhelper
     commands. (See #570039)
