-developers-reference (2.6.9) unstable; urgency=low
+developers-reference (2.7.1) unstable; urgency=low
 
-  * first thorough pass through the document; separated out
-    language-independant elements into common.ent
-  * Sec. "Stable, unstable, and sometimes frozen": mention how old stable
-    releases are available at archive.debian.org
+  * Sec. "Registering as a Debian developer": we are transitioning away
+    from non-free PGP -- remove allusions to non-free software such as
+    PGPv2 or v5 insofar as possible; recommend use of DSA keys rather than
+    RSA
+  * Sec. "Maintaining Your Public Key": remove PGP-centric stuff
+  * developers-reference.sgml: re-enable RCS variables in CVS sources
+  * debian/control,rules: dynamically generate the TOC in the package
+    description from developers-reference.sgml

+developers-reference (2.7.0) unstable; urgency=low
+
+  * developers-reference.sgml: separated out language-independant elements
+    into common.ent (not content changes); misc minor grammar changes
+    throughout
   * doc-base: change section for *constitution* to Debian (not 'debian')
     (closes Bug#37392)

- --
+  * Sec. "Stable, unstable, and sometimes frozen": mention how old stable
+    releases are available at archive.debian.org
+  * Sec. "Uploading to pandora (non-us)" added, remove stale
+    information about the old anonymous ftp area (closes Bug#39541);
+    Sec. "Other Upload Queues" added about that upload queues, added
+    samosa and master.debian.org.jp (closes Bug#37804)
+  * Sec. "Yada": mention that yada might not be as robust as other package
+    producing systems, at request of the author; Sec. "equivs" added
+  * Sec. "Moving packages": at the request of Guy Maor, clarify that this
+    procedure is for moving packages in sections (i.e., free, contrib)
+    only
+  * Sec. "Registering as a Debian developer": talk about RSA keys rather
+    than PGP keys, since I think GPG can create/handle them now; mention
+    that the official pkg maintainer address much match an ID on your key;
+  * Sec. "Maintaining Your Public Key": beef up the warnings a bit; point
+    to the PGP FAQ
+  * Sec. "Mailing Lists, Servers, and Other Machines": clean up and
+    clarify section; mention that all developers are expected to be
+    subscribed to debian-private and debian-devel-announce
+  * Sec. "Other Debian Machines": remove list of machines; point to
+    http://www.debian.org/devel/machines instead
+  * Sec. "Release code names": potato is 2.2
+  * Sec. "Guidelines for Porter Uploads": talk about recompile only
+    uploads and version numbers for this (i.e., foo_2.4-1.0.1), from a
+    suggestion from James Troup
+  * Sec. "buildd": mention andrea, and buildd.debian.org
+  * Sec. "Removing packages": correct apt-cache usage
+  * debain/rules: update standards to 3.0.1 -- since I'm not moving
+    /usr/doc to /usr/share/doc yet, no changes were required except in the
+    text here and there
