   * checks/*:
     + [JW] Replace common_data.pm with Lintian::Check.
     + [NT] Remove some unused "use lib <expr>" from various checks.
     + [NT] Use Lintian::Collect::Group to find direct dependencies.
   * checks/binaries:
     + [JW] Allow binaries to use "/usr/lib/$srcpkg/" in RPATHs.
       (Closes: #642092)
     + [JW] Fixed a false-positive when using the multiarch dir in
       RPATH.  (Closes: #646817)

     + [NT] Added the "precise" to the list of Ubuntu distributions.
       Thanks to Loïc Minier for the patch.

   * checks/circular-deps{,.desc}:
     + [NT] Renamed to group-checks{,.desc}.
   * checks/group-checks{,.desc}:
     + [NT] Added check for depending on lower priority packages built
       from the same source.  Only strong dependencies are considered.
       Thanks to Neil Williams for the report.  (Closes: #387166)
   * checks/common_data.pm:
     + [JW] Merged into Lintian::Check.
   * checks/cruft{,.desc}:
     + [NT] Escape path when using them in regexes.  (Closes: #642902)
     + [NT] Extended the description of the tag for non-native packages
       with native versions.  Thanks to Jari Aalto for the report.
       (Closes: #580048)
   * checks/copyright.desc:
     + [RG,NT] Clarified that the PHP 2.x license is only for the PHP
       interpreter and PEAR modules cannot use it.  Thanks to
       Thomas Goirand for the report.  (Closes: #616436)
   * checks/deb-format{,.desc}:
     + [NT] Added check for using .xz compression in deb files without
       versioned Pre-Depends on dpkg.  The severity is pedantic for
       Debian and serious for Ubuntu.  Thanks to Aaron M. Ucko for the
       rapport.  (Closes: #648350)
   * checks/dehelper{,.desc}:
     + [JW,NT] Check for versioned dependencies for some dh_commands.

       build-dependency-for-dh_-command to improve readability.  This
       breaks overrides, but according to lintian.d.o there are none
       of these.  (Closes: #644339)
     + [JW] Added check for missing python helpers when using python
       substvars in d/control.  (Closes: #582511)
   * checks/fields{,.desc}:
     + [NT] Fixed source-field-does-not-match-pkg-name.
     + [NT] Newlines from URIs in Vcs-* fields are stripped before they
       are checked.  These will fields will also cause a "multiline-
       field" tag if they contain newlines.
     + [JW,NT] Clarified that build-depends-on-metapackage is not only
       triggered by X11 metapackages.  (Closes: #642125)
     + [NT] Ensure transitional packages are in section oldlibs and
       priority extra.  Thanks to Josh Triplett for the report.
       (Closes: #645438)
     + [NT] Check for bouncing and looping email addresses.  Thanks to
       Ansgar Burchardt and Arno Töll for the bug report and patch.
       (Closes: #636599)
   * checks/files{,.desc}:

       transitional packages.  Thanks to Andreas Beckmann for the patch.
       (Closes: #642339)
     + [NT] Applied patch from Andrew Starr-Bochicchio to update the
       description of font-in-non-font-package to better reflect current
       font policy.  (Closes: #646838)
     + [JW,NT] Check that gzip files are compressed with -n in
       "Multi-Arch: same" packages.  (Closes: #649329)
       packages.
     + [NT] Corrected perl4 check, thanks to Dominic Hargreaves for the
       report and the patch.
   * checks/init.d{,.desc}:
     + [NT] Applied patch from Peter Eisentraut to detect init.d scripts
       without support for the optional "status" option.
       (Closes: #647250)
     + [NT] Fixed deprecation warning when using perl 5.14.

       Michael Biebl and Petter Reinholdtsen for the bug report.
       (Closes: #604620)
   * checks/rules{,.desc}:
     + [JW] Fixed false negative "missing-build-dependency" when using
       "dh --with=X" rather than "dh --with X".  (Closes: #643714)
     + [NT] Do not emit missing-build-dependency for missing dh sequences,
       since the new tag will handle those.
     + [JW] Parse continuation lines in d/rules.  (Closes: #644021)
     + [JW] Check for versioned dependency on dpkg-dev when using the new
       dpkg makefiles.  (Closes: #646495)
     + [NT] Added tracker tag for the build-arch target goal.
       (Closes: #647227)
     + [JW] Fixed duplicate tags about missing dependency for
       dh_pycentral/dh_pysupport.  (Closes: #633507)
   * checks/scripts:
     + [RA] Exclude files ending in *.erb from several shell script
       checks.  ERB is a Ruby templating language, so these will probably
       have mixed shell and Ruby code and may not be executable.  Thanks,
       Laurent Arnoud.

       report and the patch.  (Closes: #648532)

       present or the tarball is empty.  (Closes: #645660, LP: #886487)
     + [NT] Fixed deprecation warning when using perl 5.14.
   * collcetion/debfiles:
     + [NT] Bail if the debian dir is a symlink.
 .
   * data/changelog-file/debian-dists:
     + [NT] New file.
   * data/changelog-file/ubuntu-dists:
     + [NT] Added the "precise".  Thanks to Loïc Minier for the
       patch.  (Closes: #644488)
   * data/debhelper/{dh_commands,maint_commands,miscDepends_commands}:
     + [NT] Refreshed.
   * data/debhelper/alt-dh_commands:
     + [NT] Renamed to dh_commands-manual.
   * data/debhelper/dh_commands-manual:
     + [NT] Support arbitrary dependency relations.  This new change
       also fixes a "duplicate" in the dependency output.
       (Closes: #643716)
   * data/fields/essential:
     + [NT] Add libc-bin to the list of known essential packages.
   * data/fields/obsolete-packages:
     + [NT] Added dpatch per request of the maintainer.  Thanks to
       Gergely Nagy for the report.  (Closes: #646420)
   * data/fields/virtual-packages:
     + [NT] Refreshed against sid.  Thanks to Gregor Herrmann for the
       report.  (Closes: #646604)
   * data/rules/deprecated-makefiles:
     + [JW] Added dbs makefiles, since dbs maintainer deprecated the
       package in 0.47.  (Closes: #646126)
   * data/shared-libs/ldconfig-dirs:
     + [NT] Add multi-arch dirs for hurd-i386.  Thanks to Julien
       Cristau for noticing that they were missing.
   * data/spelling/corrections:
     + [NT] Added a correction for "propagate" and "separate", thanks
       to Guillem Jover for the suggestions.
       (Closes: #644793, #646529)
     + [JW] Added a number of corrections.  (Closes: #645393)
 .
   * debian/control:
     + [CW] Mark lintian Multi-Arch: foreign (there does exist one
       Architecture: any package that Build-Depends: lintian, so this helps
       multiarch cross-building slightly).
   * debian/lintian.install:
     + [NT] Removed unpack which was removed.
 .
   * frontend/lintian:
     + [NT] Collections explicitly requested (by -U) are no longer
       auto-removed.  Previously the only way to prevent auto-removal
       was to use --keep-lab.
     + [NT] Removed all archive-wide testing code.  This has been moved
       into reporting/harness.  This deprecates a lot options and config
       variables (--arch, --archivedir, --area, --dist, --section and
       LINTIAN_{ARCH,ARCHIVEDIR,AREA,DIST}).
     + [NT] Support new lab query format, replacing the old "package
       name"-based search.
 .
   * lib/Lab{,/Package}.pm:
     + [NT] Removed, replaced by Lintian::Package{,::Entry}.
   * lib/Lintian/Check.pm:
     + [JW] Merged with common_data.pm.
   * lib/Lintian/Collect/Group.pm:
     + [NT] New file - Collect like API for group data.
   * lib/Lintian/Collect/Source.pm:
     + [JW] Fixed call to binary_field in binary_relation.
       (Closes: #641609)
   * lib/Lintian/Data.pm:
     + [NT] Fixed a file descriptor leak.
   * lib/Lintian/Lab{,/Entry,/Manifest,/ManifestDiff}.pm:
     + [NT] New files.  Replaces the Read_pkglists, Lab and
       Lab::Package modules.
   * lib/Lintian/Lab.pm:
     + [JW,NT] Correctly handle $TMPDIR not being an absolute path.
       (Closes: #642113)
     + [NT] New lab layout style resembling the "pool" dirs of the
       Debian mirrors.  This allows more than 32 000 packages of a
       given type in the laboratory.  It also allows multiple
       versions/architectures of the same package in static labs.
       A feature previously only enabled in temporary labs.  The new
       layout is incompatible with the old format.  (Closes: #641468)
   * lib/Lintian/Output.pm:
     + [NT] Minor refactoring to simplify creation of the FullEWI
       module.
   * lib/Lintian/Output/FullEWI.pm:
     + [NT] New experimental output.  More machine-friendly version
       of the normal Lintian output format.
   * lib/Lintian/Output/XML.pm:
     + [NT] Use self-closing tags (if possible) and do not write
       attributes with an empty value.
   * lib/Lintian/Processable.pm:
     + [NT] Reduced to an abstract class.  The "old" implementation
       has been put into Lintian::Processable::Package.
   * lib/Lintian/Processable/Package.pm:
     + [NT] New file.
     + [NT] Changed the "name" of changes files.  It is now equal to
       the name of the source package.  Previously it was the filename
       (without extension and without the dir part).
   * lib/Read_pkglists.pm:
     + [NT] Removed - replaced by Lintian::Lab::Manifest.
   * lib/Util.pm:
     + [NT] Stricten the parser to not accept a field name with a ":".
       This could cause the parser to eat the first part of the value,
       if it contained a colon and there was no space before the value.
       Thanks to Pino Toscano for reporting the issue.
     + [JW] Explicitly check that files are not encoded using ISO-2022,
       when they should be encoded with UTF-8.  (Closes: #643009)
     + [JW] Use "paragraph" and "field" rather than "section" and "tag"
       when referring to a Debian control file.
 .
   * man/lintian.pod.in:
     + [NT] Fixed a typo, thanks to Evgeni Golov for spotting it,
 .
   * private/generate-lintian-pod:
     + [NT] Document which collections are auto-removed by default in
       static labs.
 .
   * profiles/ubuntu/main.profile:
     + [NT] Disable no-upstream-changelog and lzma-deb-archive for
       Ubuntu.  Thanks to Evan Broder for the report and patch.
       (Closes: #648117)
 .
   * reporting/*:
     + [NT] Recognise and display pedantic tags.
     + [JW] Only emit "plus X overrides" if there any overrides.
   * reporting/{harness,html_reports}:
     + [NT] Do not accept LINTIAN_UNPACK_LEVEL nor LINTIAN_SECTION
       anymore.  The lintian frontend lost support for these in
       2.5.0~rc3.
   * reporting/harness:
     + [NT] Refactored to handle the archive-wide checking directly.
     + [NT] Use the new FullEWI output format for the archive-wide
       logs.
   * reporting/html_reports:
     + [NT] Ensure source tags appear before binary tags.
       (Closes: #580945)
     + [NT] Supports the FullEWI output format.
 .
   * t/*:
     + [NT] Skip some tests broken by a recent dpkg upload.
       (Closes: #643205)
 .
   * unpack/*:
     + [NT] Removed, no longer used.
