+developers-reference (3.3) unstable; urgency=low
+
+  * Frédéric Bothamy:
+    - French translation update to latest version
+    - Proofread by Philippe Batailler
+  * Raphaël Hertzog:
+    - Added "ddtp" keyword in the PTS documentation.
+  * Josip Rodin:
+    - split out the doc-files per language, closes: #177448.
+    - shuffled stuff around in the packages chapter
+    - added a section describing how to handle large amounts of
+      architecture-independent data bundled with programs
+    - added best practices on debian/changelog files, based on a patch
+      kindly provided by Daniel Kobras, closes: #166388.
+  * Adam Di Carlo:
+    - update (c) year
+    - convert to debhelper (compat mode 4); maintainer scripts no longer
+      needed
+    - split -ja and -fr versions out into separate packages
+    - top-level makefile deletes targets on error
+    - replace the manual debian/control processing to show the document's
+      table of contents (TOC) with a new script 'debian/tocsubstvars';
+      note that the TOC displayed in the developers-reference-{fr,ja}
+      package descriptions are in English until UTF8 control files are
+      allowed

+developers-reference (3.2.2) unstable; urgency=low
+
+  * Josip Rodin:
+    - slightly rewrote and updated links in the mirrors section
+  * Adam Di Carlo:
+    - Policy compliance checked and updated to 3.5.8, no changes needed
+    - TODO: remove some tasks which are done
+    - ship README-contrib and TODO in the doc dir
+    - Sec "Upstream home page": some revisions based on discussion on
+      policy list
+    - Sec "Documentation" added under Sec "Common packaging situations"
+      for best practices for documentation
+    - Add tools entries for autotools-dev, dpkg-repack, alien, debsums;
+      new Sec "Documentation and information", add entries there for
+      debview, debiandoc-sgml, debian-keyring; we believe this manual now
+      covers all of the established, general Debian maintainer tool
+      packages
+    - spell-checking pass

+developers-reference (3.2.1) unstable; urgency=low
+
+  * Adam Di Carlo:
+    - Sec "Best practices for debian/control" added, Sec "Writing useful
+      descriptions" moved under there
+    - Sec "Upstream home page" added in debian/control section
+    - Sec "Miscellaneous advice" empty, removed
+    - Sec "Overview of maintainer tools": tools now categorized into
+      subgroups; do cross-linking from this section into other parts of
+      the document where these tools are discussed
+    - Sec "Overview of maintainer tools": add entries for sbuild,
+      build-essential, linda; improved entries for pbuilder, devscripts
+    - Sec "Tools for porters" renamed and readapted to "Porting
+      infrastructure and automation"; move tool discussion down to the
+      appendix; improve Sec "buildd" a bit
+    - README-contrib added giving information for authors, contributors,
+      and translators
+    - eliminate the ByHand stuff, I'm pretty sure it's not needed now
+      with the DDP builder process, or if it is needed, it's a probably
+      that can be fixed by DDP folks
+    - stop shipping SGML source -- use 'apt-get source developers-reference'
+      after all, this is supposed to be a binary package, right?
+    - simply PS and PDF building rules
