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

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