+  Major new feature:
+  * --quilt=gbp, --quilt=dpm, --quilt=unpacked: Introduce facility for
+    split view (dgit/mainiainer view), to improve compatibility with some
+    other workflow tools.

   * dgit sbuild: Check that the binary .changes file doesn't contain a

   * Introduce --rm-old-changes to delete previous builds' changes files.
   * Remove any pre-existing _source.changes file before building source,

+  * No longer tolerate a multitude of .changes files when doing push.
+    Instead, insist on a single one.  Closes:#800110.
+  * dgit sbuild no longer deletes extranious .changes files; instead
+    we rely on --rm-old-changes, or failing that, fail early.
+  * When doing quilt linearisation, treat upstream .gitignores not
+    in the toplevel the same way we treat ones in the toplevel.
+  * When automatically generating quilt patch, honour GIT_COMMITTER_DATE
+    for filename creation (makes filename deterministic in test suite).
+  * New --overwrite option, replaces need to for user to use
+    git merge -s ours.  Closes:#838718.
+  * When generating quilt patches from git commits, make patches that
+    look quite like git-format-patch output (rather than strange things
+    based on an obselete interpretation of DEP-3).
+  * When generating quilt patches from git commits, honour (and strip)
+    any Gbp-Pq headers (that we understand).
+  * Several dgit-generated commits now have slightly better annotations
+    from dgit about what it was doing.
+  * Make --quilt=gbp the default for dgit gbp-build.
+  * New tag format (for dgit view) archive/debian/VERSION.
+  * Before committing to push, check that .dsc and .changes correspond.
+    Closes:#800060.

+  Infrastructure:
+  * Better error handling in dgit-repos-policy-debian.
+  * dgit-repos-policy-debian.: fix git-cat-file-handling with multiple
+    taints in db (!).

 
   Documentation:
   * Document the dgit-distro.DISTRO.quilt-mode config setting.
