 cron (4.0-1) experimental; urgency=medium
 .
   * Merged upstream version 4.0, which contains all of previous
     debian pached applied. Hence this release makes official the "debian fork"
     which happened some years ago from Vixie's cron version 3.0, and
     resulted in a growing heap of patches, making it more and more tricky
     to maintain, and keeping this package away from the main maintenance
     mode: use Git and Salsa to deal with novelties.
     .
     The more than eighty entries above contain just the *first line*, split
     into shorter chunks, of the older debian patche's comments. If you want
     to read the complete comment coming with each and every path, please
     page the output of `git log`, after commit
     35effcd15c7d0554825b565916fd7338bba8b553.
     .
     Those comments were extracted with a script more or less like:
     -----------------8<-----------------------------------------
     for f in [path_to]/patches/series; do
       patch -p1 < [path_to]/patches/$f
       git add -A
       git commit -m "$(quilt header [path_to]/patches/$f)"
     done
     -----------------8<-----------------------------------------
     .
     Removed all of debian patches.

   * [proposed by Stefanos Chaliasos on 2019-12-22]
   * manage characters \r and \b in a special way, since one could use
     them to obfuscate a crontab. This patch should close #585552
   * if the timezone for a system is changed while cron is running, and
     the timezone change is _not_ due to a DST event, cron is unaware of
     the change and will continue using the old  value until it is restarted.
   * This patch adds an example for people who wish to address the multiple
     timezone issue, without adding any new feature inside crontabs or
     cron itself.
   * Fixed the phrasing of the manual page, tanks to Reuben Thomas, and
     included 積丹尼 Dan Jacobson's nice example into crontab.5
   * This patch provides a way to create a new command: cron_now This
     command is meant to be used only during automated tests, as it
     allows one to run cron jobs immediately, without the need to wait
     a minute
   * Modernize paths, to comply with Debian Merged Usr
   * Applied with a few adjustments Stéphane Blondon's patch, which
     is closing #813614
   * Enabling debugging features for cron. Now the switch -x will be honored
     if one wants to launch cron to debug something. Cron's manpage
     mentions the new feature.
   * enable DEBUGGING by default
   * removed a useless file
