* SECURITY UPDATE: The IRC Protocol component in KVIrc 3.x and 4.x before
  r4693 does not properly handle \ (backslash) characters, which allows
  remote authenticated users to execute arbitrary CTCP commands via vectors
  involving \r and \40 sequences, a different vulnerability than CVE-2010-2451
  and CVE-2010-2452.
  - 33_upstream_security_#858.patch
    - Patch based on upstream SVN revision 4693.
  - CVE-2010-2785:
    - http://www.cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=2010-2785
  - LP: #612682

* SECURITY UPDATE: Two security issues have been discovered in the DCC
  protocol support code of kvirc, a KDE-based next generation IRC client,
  which allow the overwriting of local files through directory traversal
  and the execution of arbitrary code through a format string attack.
  - kubuntu_01_CVE-2010-2451_CVE-2010-2451_DCC_fix.patch
    - Patch based on upstream SVN revision 4317.

The »Creatures of the Night« release.

* Synced to upstream's SVN revision 3763:
  - Updated and improved licensing based on GPLv2+
  - Including a patch from Debian to remove bashisms. (Closes: #535873)
  - Including a German manpage originating from Debian and an Italian manual
    page.
  - Coming with the rewritten notifier.
  - With a new $str.digest implementation, originating from the »no
    embedded« branch (see TODO.Debian for further information).
  - Performance boost thanks to a rewrite of the treewidget class.
  - Fixes an issue with the »popups.kvs« script, addressed in upstream's
    SVN revision 3249 <https://svn.kvirc.de/kvirc/changeset/3249>.
    (Closes: #539874)
  - Fixes an FTBFS with binutils-gold (upstream SVN revision 3596
    <https://svn.kvirc.de/kvirc/changeset/3596>). (Closes: #555068)

[ Kai Wasserbäch ]
* debian/control:
  - Standards-Version is now 3.8.3:
  - Remove obsolete Conflicts and Replaces from kvirc-data's definition.
    kvirc-doc isn't even in oldstable (Etch), same applies for versions less
    then 2:3.0.0.
  - Added libcrypto++-dev and pkg-config to Build-Depends, to enable new
    $str.digest code.
  - Ensure Qt 4.5.0 or higher is present (not the case on S390).
  - Added ${misc:Depends} to kvirc-data entry.
  - Improved package descriptions (thanks to Raphael Geissert).
  - Added a Conflicts: for kvirc-dev, so the old package gets removed.
  - Removed CDBS from Build-Depends.
  - Added versioned Build-Depends for debhelper and pkg-kde-tools, which
    allows us to switch to dh only.
  - Removed quilt, isn't needed according to
    <http://wiki.debian.org/Projects/DebSrc3.0>.
* debian/TODO.Debian:
  - Removed item about adding a German manpage, as this was addressed by
    r3268 <https://svn.kvirc.de/kvirc/changeset/3268> in upstream's VCS (by
    myself).
  - Removed item about installing protocol handlers.
  - Removed item about not cleaned out filelist.txt files, wasn't a CDBS bug,
    but one in the CMakeLists.txt file, see
    <https://svn.kvirc.de/kvirc/changeset/3265> for further information.
  - Removed item about kvirc-config4, we don't ship that anymore.
  - Added an SVN URL to the item about removing embedded code where the
    progress can be tracked.
  - Added reminder about Python module.
* debian/kvirc-data.preinst:
  - Added (thanks to Raphael Geissert for pointing the not needed
    parentheses out to me).
  - Handle some cruft left over from 3.4 releases. (Closes: #534291)
* debian/kvirc-data.install: Install protocol handlers again, now directly
  into <file:///usr/share/services>.
* Don't build kvirc-dev anylonger. Unused so far and would need a great
  deal of work to be Policy compliant again.
* debian/kvirc.lintian-overrides: Added »kvirc: no-symbols-control-file
  usr/lib/libkvilib.so.4.0.0« as the library is only used in KVIrc modules
  and we don't ship kvirc-dev anymore.
* debian/rules:
  - Manually set the SVN revision number.
  - Reduce dependencies, one audio backend is enough.
  - Added »-DWITH_NO_EMBEDDED_CODE=YES« to CMake invocation.
  - Rewrote the rules for dh7 only (without CDBS).
  - Removed quilt from dh invocation, now handled by dpkg-source (source
    format »3.0 (quilt)«).
* debian/source.lintian-overrides: Removed (Thanks to Raphael Geissert).
* debian/copyright:
  - Added BSD license for some CMake snippets we don't use but are shipped by
    upstream (we use the ones provided by kdelibs5-dev or don't build the
    relevant part). (Thanks to Barry deFreese and Raphael Geissert.)
* debian/compat: bumped to 7.
* debian/kvirc.docs: Added.
* debian/kvirc.manpages: Added.
* debian/kvirc.install: Removed man pages.
* debian/source/format: Added with »3.0 (quilt)« as its content.
* Added debian/patches/20_rm_python_stub.patch which removes the always build
  Python module stub, because we don't build the Python module.

[ Raúl Sánchez Siles ]
* Adding a debug package so debug information can be provided.
* Do not provide upstream TODO.
* Adding packaging copyright to Kai Wasserbäch.
* Provide a more consistent name to kubuntu_01_fix_desktop_entry.patch
  patch to 10_fix_desktop_entry.patch. Suggested by Eugene V. Lyubimkin
* Updated copyright file.
* Using english as default manpage.
* Addind README.source documenting how to build package from latest sources.

[ Mark Purcell ]
* Add get-orig-source to pull exact version from upstream svn

* Move plugins and modules from /usr/share into /usr/lib. (Closes: #392393)
  Thanks, Steinar H. Gunderson.
  - When checking if a directory is the kvirc global directory, don't
    check for the modules, as they have moved; check for the help
    directory instead (which the comments also suggest).
  - Make a local hack in src/kvirc/kernel/kvi_app_fs.cpp to look for
    modules and plugins in /usr/lib instead of /usr/share.

2. By Robin Verduijn <email address hidden> on 2004-12-14

* Change Recommends on xmms to a Suggests.
* Rebuild against KDE 3.3.1

1. By Robin Verduijn <email address hidden> on 2002-04-16

* #138169: The problem in bug #138169 is due to a bug in libtool. See
  bug #98342 for details. KVirc still doesn't build correctly even with
  the latest libtool (1.4.2-4). When this gets properly fixed I'll update
  kvirc's build dependency on libtool. In the mean time, I've applied a
  patch from that bug report which fixes it for me.
  (Closes: #138169)
* Redid debian/rules somewhat; no longer try to build differently
  depending on how KDE is installed. If the preferred configuration breaks
  for some platform, I'd rather know about it.
* Don't link versus qt-mt anymore.
* GNU config automated update: config.sub (20010907 to 20020307),
  config.guess (20010904 to 20020320)
