Revision Date: 2009-04-03 14:10:28 UTC

* New maintainer. Closes: #520635
* Use quilt for patch management.
* Drop the README patch; with all due respect to Peter Mathiasson,
  in my humble opinion this information is addressed to developers,
  not end-users, and thus belongs right here, in the Debian changelog
  instead.
* Add a watch file.
* Fix up the manual page a bit:
  - use .\" instead of ./" for comments
  - properly use hyphens instead of minus-signs
* Flesh out the long description with a list of hexer features.
* Unbreak the "comment" and "argument" words in the help text to
  avoid spellcheck warnings from lintian.
* Add the Vcs-Svn and Vcs-Browser fields.
* Bump the debhelper compatibility version to 7:
  - add misc:Depends to the binary package
  - minimize the rules file
* Bump Standards-Version to 3.8.1:
  - replace Apps with Applications in the menu section
  - honor the "nostrip" build option; Closes: #437160
  - override the compiler program and flags so the "noopt" build option
    is also honored
  - add the README.source file mentioning the use of quilt
* Convert the copyright file to the machine-parseable format and
  add my copyright notice on the Debian packaging.
* Build with -Werror if "werror" is specified in DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS.
* Fix some compiler warnings.
* Quote the "needs" and "section" menu file fields and install the file.
