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

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