[ Martín Ferrari ]
* New upstream release. Closes: #386565 (and probably many more).
* debian/control:
  - Bumped very old Standards-Version 3.6.2.2 (no changes needed).
  - Moved debhelper to Build-Depends.
  - Added quilt build-dependency for documentation patches to be added.
  - New run-time dependency: libhtml-tagset-perl.
  - New run-time dependency: netbase (Closes: #424737).
* debian/compat: to version 5.
* debian/copyright: converted to UTF-8, updated and converted to new format.
* debian/rules: revamped with current group practices. Added quilt support.
* debian/patches/documentation_fixes.patch: Patch to:
  - bin/lwp-request: mention GET, POST and HEAD in the POD, fixed the
    discrepancies between the synopsis, the POD description and the cmdline
    help (-C and -P options, plus short options summary), also added some
    standard markup in POD synopsis (Closes: #396968, #408426, #354905)
  - libwww-perl/lib/HTTP/Cookies.pm: updated Netscape cookies spec's URL
    (Closes: #422732).
  Sent upstream as CPAN#31346.
* debian/patches/lwp-request_use_base_when_dumping_links.patch: Moved
  changes made in the diff.gz to a quilt patch. This patch makes lwp-request
  honour the -b option when dumping links (#294595). Sent upstream as
  CPAN#31347.
* Removed change made to Makefile.PL in the diff.gz as it is not necessary
  to allow MakeMaker to create the GET, HEAD and POST copies (we make
  links). Removed relevant parts of debian/rules, too.

[ Damyan Ivanov ]
* Add a bit more text to debian/copyright to make it clearer:
  + Note perl's licensing terms
  + A few more words to packaging license
* Add myself to Uploaders
* Clean debian/rules:
  + drop unneeded arrange target
  + drop unnecessary binary-stamp, binary-arch-stamp and binary-indep-stamp
  + fix target inter-dependencies
    - make install-stamp depend on build-stamp
  + drop unused dh_installexamples
  + move cleaning of -stamp files before distclean
* Add list of previous maintainers to debian/copyright. Also add list of all
  authors from AUTHORS file.
