8 developers-reference (2.4.1.2) frozen unstable; urgency=low
10 * non-maintainer release
11 * rebuilt since HTML versions of Chapters 1 and 2 were truncated
12 (important bug, no number yet, bugs.debian.org isn't working;
13 regardless, this should go in hamm because a broken developers
14 reference won't win us many friends in hamm, and after all, it's just
15 text, it can't hurt you.)
16 * no content changes, except that the version number in the SGML file
17 reflect this packages version number
18 * debian/rule: clean is cleaner now

28 developers-reference (2.4.1.0) frozen unstable; urgency=low
30 * New version numbering scheme:
32 - The version numbers are independent of dpkg now, but all policy
33 manuals (the Debian Policy Manual, the Debian Packaging Manual, and
34 the Debian Developer's Reference) share the same version numbering
37 - The first three digits of the version number specify the
38 `Standards-Version.' This number is incremented with each policy
39 change. The fourth digit represents the `patch-level,' which may
40 differ between the manuals.
42 If only the patch-level digit is incremented, no changes in policy
43 have been made, except bug fixes and clarifications. Packages only
44 have to specify the first three digits of the version number in the
45 `Standards-Version' field of their source packages.
47 * Uploaded to frozen and unstable. This is a documentation-only
48 package and the changes to the manual are relevant for hamm.
50 * No changes to the Developer's Reference
