+developers-reference (2.5.0) frozen unstable; urgency=low
+
+  * move to 3-level version number:
+    top-level version number probably won't change for a whil, it is the
+    "major", the second-level number means significant content changes,
+    and the third-level change means corrections and minor improvements.
+    Since this version has significant content changes, we are now 2.5.0.
+    Since I'm going to put porter instructions in the next major rev, that
+    will be 2.6.0...
+
+  * use new <package> tag where appropriate (Ardo, you rock)
+  * replace 'm86k' with 'm68k'
+  * rename 'Whirlwind Tour of ...' section to 'Overview of ...' (suggested 
+    by James Troup)
+  * typos and "red-pen" corrections, fix cosmetic problems in PostScript
+    version
+  * remove the one case I use an URL fragment identifier, since
+    debiandoc-sgml doesn't like it (bug filed against debiandoc-sgml)
+  * debian/rules: cosmetic cleanups, loosen check for root
+  * debian/rules: build PostScript version during build, since it's nice
+    to have all my debiandoc2* scripts together
+  * debian/control: policy compliant to 2.5.0
+
+  * advise against uploading when a package has lintian problems of
+    severity 'E'
+  * "Mailing Lists and Servers":
+    - "The master server": mention how master is the home of the BTS;
+      mention how users need to take care with their accounts on master
+    - "The WWW servers": fill in www.debian.org, first pass, and discuss
+      how to put up your own web pages on va or master
+    - "The CVS server": new section added
+    - "Mirrors of Debian servers": new section added; point to info about
+       how to mirror
+  * "Applying to Become a Maintainer": do not advise resending initial
+    application; instead, simply mail a followup asking new maintainers
+    whether they go the initial application (closes Bug #28739); mention
+    that calls usually come in the evening; mention that if you use PGP
+    v5, you need to generate an RSA key (right?); clarify our intentions
+    with respect to GPG.
+  * "Release code names": Debian 2.2 is 'potato'
+  * "Distribution directories": give concrete examples, hopefully making
+    it clearer where to look in Debian archives for specific stuff;
+    mention that old distributions are moved to archive servers (is there
+    a canonical location?)
+  * "The override file": new section, added under "Notification that a new
+    package has been installed"; fill it out quite a bit
+  * "Uploading to *": reiterate thrice not to upload export
+    controlled-software to master, or the European queues on erlangen and
+    chiark
+  * "Picking a distribution": section broken out from "Generating the
+    changes file"
+  * "Uploading to frozen": new section, almost straight from Brian White
+    (hope you don't mind!) -- isn't that topical?
+  * "Interim releases": if you NMU a new upstream version (0.1), run 
+    'dpkg-buildpackage -sa'

+developers-reference (2.4.1.5) unstable; urgency=low
+
+  * Fix instructions for new maintainers, incorporating the actual text
+    sent to prospective new maintainers.  Improve this text a bit for
+    readability, coverage, and organization.  Significant changes were
+    patched back to the new-maintainers group, if they care to use
+    them. (closes Bug#26948)
+  * Add an introductory "Scope" chapter which helps delineate what should
+    and should not be included in this Reference.
+  * Add a new chapter, "Whirlwind Tour of Debian Maintainer Tools".  Let
+    me know what useful tools I forgot -- remember, Debian-specific
+    maintainer tools only!
+  * Add discussion of the "experimental" distribution, culled from an email
+    from Guy Maor on debian-devel.
+  * Incorporated suggestions from Branden Robinson (closes Bug#27211).
+  * Point to doc-debian's mailing list instructions where relevant.
+  * Made references to online documentation into URLs where possible.
+  * Little corrections here and there.
+  * add a Makefile for use in the DDP manual hierarchy
+  * debian/rules: comment out my 'source-depends' hack; it's just slowing
+    things down
