+debhelper (7.9.1) unstable; urgency=low
+
+ * 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.)
+ * In v8 mode, dh_makeshlibs will run dpkg-gensymbols on all shared
+ libraries it generates shlibs files for. This means that -X can be
+ used to exclude libraries from processing by dpkg-gensymbols. It also
+ means that libraries in unusual locations, where dpkg-gensymbols does
+ not itself normally look, will be passed to it, a behavior change which
+ may break some packages. Closes: #557603
+ * In v8 mode, dh expects the sequence to run is always its first parameter.
+ (Ie, use "dh $@ --foo", not "dh --foo $@")
+ This avoids ambiguities when parsing options to be passed on to debhelper
+ commands. (See #570039)
+ * In v8 mode, prefer the perl_build buildsystem over perl_makemaker.
+ Closes: #578805
+ * postrm-init: Avoid calling the error handler if update-rc.d fails.
+ Closes: #586065

+debhelper (7.4.20) unstable; urgency=low
+
+ * Drop one more call to dpkg-architecture. Closes: #580837
+ (Raphael Geissert)
+ * Further reduce the number of calls to dpkg-architecture to zero,
+ in a typical package with no explicit architecture mentions
+ in control file or debhelper config files.
+ * dh_perl: use debian_abi for XS modules. Closes: #581233

+debhelper (7.4.19) unstable; urgency=low
+
+ * Memoize architecture comparisons in samearch, and avoid calling
+ dpkg-architecture at all for simple comparisons that clearly
+ do not involve architecture wildcards. Closes:# 579317

+debhelper (7.4.18) unstable; urgency=low
+
+ * dh_gconf: Depend on new gconf2 that uses triggers, and stop
+ calling triggered programs manually. Closes: #577179

+
+debhelper (7.4.17) unstable; urgency=low
+
+ * Fix #572077 in one place I missed earlier. (See #576885)
+ * dh: Fixed example of overriding binary target.
+ * Began finalizing list of changes for v8 compat level.

+debhelper (7.4.16) unstable; urgency=low
+
+ * Updated French translation.
+ * makefile buildsystem: Chomp output during test for full compatibility
+ with debhelper 7.4.11. Closes: #570503
+ * dh_install: Now --list-missing and --fail-missing are useful even when
+ not all packages are acted on (due to architecture limits or flags).
+ Closes: #570373
+ * Typo. Closes: #571968
+ * If neither -a or -i are specified, debhelper commands used to default
+ to acting on all packages in the control file, which was a guaranteed
+ failure if the control file listed packages that did not build for the
+ target architecture. After recent optimisations, this default behavior
+ can efficiently be changed to the more sane default of acting on only
+ packages that can be built for the current architecture. This change
+ is mostly useful when using minimal rules files with dh. Closes: #572077
+ * dh_md5sums: Sort to ensure stable, more diffable order. Closes: #573702
+ * dh: Allow --list-addons to be used when not in a source package.
+ Closes: #574351
+ * dh: Improve documentation.

+debhelper (7.4.15) unstable; urgency=low
+
+ * The fix for #563557 caused some new trouble involving makefile

+ when testing for the existance of a makefile target. Closes: #570443

+debhelper (7.4.12) unstable; urgency=low
+
+ * dh_bugfiles: Doc typo. Closes: #563269
+ * makefile: Support the (asking for trouble) case of MAKE being set to
+ something with a space in it. Closes: #563557
+ * Fix warning about unknown options passed to commands in override targets.
+ * Add -O option, which can be used to pass options to commands, ignoring
+ options that they do not support.
+ * dh: Use -O to pass user-specified options to the commands it runs.
+ This solves the problem with passing "-Bbuild" to dh, where commands
+ that do not support -B would see a bogus -u option. Closes: #541773
+ (It also ensures that the commands dh prints out can really be run.)
+ * qmake: New buildsystem contributed by Kel Modderman. Closes: #566840
+ * Fix typo in call to abs2rel in --builddir sanitize code.
+ Closes: #567737

+
+ * dh(1): Minor rewording of documentation of override commands.
+ Closes: #560421
+ * dh(1): Add an example of using an override target to avoid
+ dh running several commands. Closes: #560600
+ * dh_installman: Avoid doubled slashes in path. Closes: #561275
+ * dh_installxfonts: Use new update-fonts-alias --include and
+ --exclude options to better handle removal in the case where
+ xfonts-utils is removed before a font package is purged.
+ (#543512; thanks, Theppitak Karoonboonyanan)
+ * dh: Optimise handling of noop overrides, avoiding an unnecessary
+ call to make to handle them. (Modestas Vainius)

+debhelper (7.4.10) unstable; urgency=low
+
+ * Add --parallel option that can be used to enable parallel building
+ without limiting the max number of parallel jobs. (Modestas Vainius)
+ * dh_makeshlibs: Temporarily revert fix for #557603, as it caused
+ dpkg-gensymbols to see libraries not in the regular search path and
+ broke builds. This will be re-enabled in v8. Closes: #560217

+
+debhelper (7.4.8) unstable; urgency=low
+
+ * Parallel building support is no longer enabled by default. It can still
+ be enabled by using the --max-parallel option. This was necessary because
+ some buildds build with -j2 by default. (See #532805)
* dh: Document --no-act. Closes: #557505
+ * dh_makeshlibs: Make -X also exclude libraries from the symbols file.
+ Closes: #557603 (Peter Samuelson)
