   * checks/appstream-metadata.{desc,pm}:
     + [NT] New check by Petter Reinholdtsen.

     + [AB] Fix typo "%gt;" vs "&gt;".

   * checks/control-file.pm:
     + [NT] Remove check for missing versioned build-depends for dpkg

   * checks/copyright-file.{desc,pm}:
     + [CL] Rename copyright-contains-dh-make-perl-boilerplate to

       Whitton for the report. (Closes: #841832)
     + [CL] Check for years that are later than the last entry added to
       debian/changelog.  (Closes: #807461)
   * checks/cruft.{desc,pm}:
     + [CL] Clarify language of source-contains-prebuilt-ms-help-file
       description; there exists free software to generate .chm files.
     + [CL] Don't emit source-contains-prebuilt-ms-help-file for files
       generated by Halibut. (Closes: #867673)
     + [CL] Move r-data-without-readme-source to check the source package,
       no the binary; the expected README.source files are not installed
       in binary packages. (Closes: #866322)
     + [CL] Apply patch from Dylan Aïssi to also check for .RData files
       (not just .Rdata) files in r-data-without-readme-source.

       and debhlper when using Build-Profiles.  The necessary versions

       tkx does not seem to be in Debian any longer.
   * checks/files.pm:
     + [CL] Add .yml to the list of file extensions to avoid false
       positives when emitting extra-license-file, with testcase. Thanks
       to Rene Engelhard for the report.  (Closes: #856137)
     + [CL] Check for packages containing upstart configuration under

       make the justification clearer.  (Closes: #865882)

     + [NT] Re-encode checksums into base64 encoded strings (from hex).

       harness cache.
 .
   * data/cruft/non-free-files:
     + [CL] Match more Lena Söderberg images. Thanks to Lumin
       <cdluminate@gmail.com> and Dylan Aïssi <bob.dybian@gmail.com>.

   * debian/rules:
     + [JW, NT] Post process HTML docmentation to set the charset to UTF-8,
       which fixes mojibake in the Debian Policy Manual links.  Thanks to
       Paul Hardy for finding a solution to the problem.
       (Closes: #802721)
     + [NT] Override dh_autoreconf tools as they are not used (but need to
       scan over all files in the source package).
 .
   * lib/Lintian/Collect/Source.pm:
     + [CL] Improve support for "3.0 (git)" packages. They are still marked
       as unsupported-source-format as they are not accepted by the Debian
       archive.  (Closes: #605999)
