+ * Made all perl code work with use strict and -w (well, except
+ dh_getopt.pl, but that's a hack that'll go away one day).
+ * I didn't realize, but rewriting dh_installdocs in perl fixed bug #24686
+ (blank lines in debian/docs file problem), although this same problem
+ applies to other debhelper programs... like dh_installexamples, which had
+ the same bug fixed when I rewrote it in perl just now.
+ * Dh_Lib.pm: accidentially didn't check DH_VERBOSE if commands were not
+ passed any switches.
+ * Dh_Getopt.pm: --noscripts was broken.

+debhelper (1.1.3) unstable; urgency=low
+
+ * dh_md5sums: -x was broken since version 1.1.1 - fixed.
+ * dh_lib: removed get_arch_indep_packages() function that hasn't been used
+ at all for a long while.
+ * Added Dh_Lib.pm, a translation of dh_lib into perl.
+ * dh_getopt.pl: moved most of it into new Dh_Getopt.pm module, rewriting
+ large chunks in the process.
+ * dh_installdocs: completly rewritten in perl. Now it's faster and it can
+ install many oddly named files it died on before.
+ * dh_installdocs: fixed a bug that installed TODO files mode 655 in native
+ debian packages.

+ * dh_movefiles: try to move all files specified, and only then bomb out if
+ some of the file could not be found. Makes it easier for some packages
+ that don't always have the same files in them.
+ * dh_compress: any parameters passed to it on the command line specify
+ additional files to be compressed in the first package acted on.
+ * dh_compress: recognize standard -A parameter.

+ * TODO: list all current bugs, in order I plan to tackle them.
+ * Added debhelper.1 man page, which groups all the debhelper options that
+ are common to all commands in once place so I can add new options w/o
+ updating 27 man pages.
+ * dh_*.1: updated all debheper man pages to refer to debhelper(1) where
+ appropriate. Also corrected a host of little errors.
+ * doc/README: moved a lot of this file into debhelper.1.
+ * dh_*: -N option now excludes a package from the list of packages the
+ programs act on. (#25247)

+ * 1.0 at last!
+
+ * This relelase is not really intended for stable. I throw a copy into
+ stable-updates because I want it to be available as an upgrade for
+ people using debian 2.0 (the current version in debian 2.0 has no
+ critical bugs, but this version is of course a lot nicer), and I plan
+ to start work on a new branch of debhelper that will fix many wishlist
+ bug reports, and of course introduce many new bugs, and which will go
+ into unstable only.
