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

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