+
+  * dh: debian/rules override targets can change what is run
+    for a specific debhelper command in a sequence.
+    (Thanks Modestas Vainius for the improved makefile parser.)
+  * dh: Redid all the examples to use override targets, since these
+    eliminate all annoying boilerplate and are much easier to understand
+    than the old method.
+  * Remove rules.simple example, there's no need to use explcit targets
+    with dh anymore.
+  * dh: Fix typo. Closes: #509754
+  * debhelper.pod: Fix typo. Closes: #510180
+  * dh_gconf: Support mandatory settings. Closes: #513923
+  * dh: Support debian/rules calling make with -B,
+    which is useful to avoid issues with phony implicit
+    rules (see bug #509756).
+  * Improve error messages when child commands fail.
+  * Depend on dpkg-dev 1.14.19, the first to support Package-Type
+    fields in dpkg-gencontrol.
+  * dh_gencontrol: No longer need to generate the udeb filename
+    when calling dpkg-gencontrol.
+  * dh_gencontrol: Do not need to tell dpkg-gencontol not to
+    include the Homepage field in udebs (fixed in dpkg-dev 1.14.17).

+  * Add Vcs-Browser field. Closes: #507804
+  * Ignore unknown options in DH_OPTIONS. Debhelper will always ignore
+    such options, even when unknown command-line options are converted back
+    to an error. This allows (ab)using DH_OPTIONS to pass command-specific
+    options.
+    (Note that getopt will warn about such unknown options. Eliminating this
+    warning without reimplementing much of Getopt::Long wasn't practical.)
