 .
   * Summary of tag changes:
     + Added:
       - license-problem-cc-by-nc-sa
 .
   * checks/*:
     + [NT] Remove all uses of "control", "debfiles" and
       "unpacked".
   * checks/*:
     + [NT] Remove all uses of the "doc-base-files", "init.d"
       and "menu-files" collections.
   * checks/changes-file.pm:
     + [NT] Add "-lts" as common suffix for distribution,
       which makes "squeeze-lts" a valid distribution.  Thanks
       to Holger Levsen for the report.  (Closes: #763339)
   * checks/description.pm:
     + [SL] show the actual description when it is too short.
   * checks/files.pm:
     + [NT] Only flag the Doxygen generated "md5" file as
       useless.  Thanks to Mathieu Malaterre for reporting.
       (Closes: #762660)
   * checks/patch-systems.pm:
     + [NT] Rewrite using index rather than debfiles to analyse
       the package.  A side-effect of that means that Lintian
       can now check patches stored in the upstream part of the
       packages.  (Closes: #563773)
   * checks/po-debconf.pm:
     + [NT] Avoid writing test.pot to the unpacked package.
       (Closes: #699022)
   * checks/testsuite.pm:
     + [NT] Recognise autopkgtest-pkg-{perl,ruby} values for
       the "Testsuite" field.  Extended validation is not
       implemented though.  Thanks to Niko Tyni for reporting
       the issue.  (Closes: #762177)
 .
   * collection/*:
     + [NT] Remove all uses of "debfiles" and "control".
   * collection/{doc-base-files,init.d,menu-files}{,.desc}:
     + [NT] Deprecated, will be removed in a future release.
       They will now be now auto-removed at the end of the
       processing if they have been collected previously.
 .
   * data/*:
     + [NT] Refresh some of the data against unstable.
   * data/cruft/non-free-license:
     + [BR] Detect cc-by-nc-sa license.  (Closes:  #749768).
   * data/standards-version/release-dates:
     + [NT] Add 3.9.6.  (Closes: #762460)
 .
   * debian/control:
     + [NT] Bump Standards-Versions to 3.9.6 - no changes
       required.
   * debian/dirs:
     + [NT] Stop installing /var/spool/lintian
   * debian/lintian.install:
     + [NT] Install Lintian::Tutorial POD documents into
       /usr/share/perl5.  (Closes: #761930)
   * debian/postinst:
     + [NT] Remove empty Lintian labs in /var/spool/lintian on
       upgrade.
   * debian/postrm:
     + [NT] Remove the "changes" folder when purging the
       Lintian lab in /var/spool/lintian.
   * debian/source/lintian-overrides:
     + [NT] Remove obsolete lintian overrides.
 .
   * doc/tutorial/Lintian/Tutorial/WritingChecks.pod:
     + [NT] Mention "safe_qx" as alternative to qx/`` in the
       tutorial.
 .
   * lib/Lintian/Collect{,/*}.pm:
     + [NT] Deprecate the use of "control", "debfiles" and
       "unpacked".  Consumers are recommended to use
       index_resolved_path and control_index_resolved_path
       instead.
     + [NT] Remove all uses of debfiles (both the method and
       the collection).  All methods (except "debfiles") now
       depend on "unpacked" instead.
     + [NT] Remove all uses of the "control" and the "unpacked"
       method.
   * lib/Lintian/Command.pm:
     + [NT] Add support for running a sub in the child before
       it calls exec.
     + [NT] Add support for shell-like (e.g. &2) redirects of
       stdout and stderr.
     + [NT] Add safe_qx sub for replacing qx() that supports
       most of the features of spawn().
   * lib/Lintian/Path.pm:
     + [NT] Add support for fetching and (where it makes sense)
       opening the underlying file system object.  It also adds
       a few minor safety guards to common issues with symlinks.
       (Closes: #698930)
   * lib/Lintian/Path/FSInfo.pm:
     + [NT] New file.
 .
   * reporting/*:
     + [NT] Avoid forking a shell when invoking commands.  This
       has the side effect of allowing some paths from the
       configuration to contain spaces (among other), where it
       previously would not work.
   * reporting/templates/maintainer.tmpl:
     + [NT] Use https:// in links to other resources/sites and
       add link to tracker.debian.org.
