  [ Stuart Prescott ]
  * Add sha512 sums to Release and Sources (Closes: #732599).
  * Use warnings rather than stderr in PkgRelation (Closes: #712513).
  * Expose the list of bugs closed by a changelog entry; thanks to Jelmer
    Vernooi and Stefano Rivera for patches (Closes: #634848).
  * Add support for .deb with uncompressed data.tar member (Closes: #718355).
  * Prefer the internal parser rather than apt's TagFile for processing deb822
    files unless explicitly called to process Packages or Sources files:
    - prevents paragraph parsing truncating on comments (Closes: #743174).
    - fix parsing of paragraphs when separated by more whitespace than just a
      newline (Closes: #655988). (Finally fixing interactions with devscripts'
      wrap-and-sort!)
  * Parse foreign architecture (package:any) relationships and also other
    multi-arch related relationships (Closes: #670679)
  * Parse build-profiles syntax.

  [ John Wright ]
  * Fix a GPG validation bug.  With some trailing whitespace, the code
    could be tricked into validating a signature, but using the bogus
    data after the signed section (Closes: #695932).
  * Drop support for python2.5.  (This allows us to do fewer import hacks
    in deb822, and probably other modules as well.)
  * Add a deb822.RestrictedWrapper class, for exposing read-only access
    to a Deb822 instance's field values as strings, while restricting
    write access to some fields, which are exposed via properties.
  * deb822.Deb822Dict.dump: Add a text_mode parameter for dumping to
    file(-like) objects that assume text/unicode input.
  * Add a copyright module, for parsing machine-readable debian/copyright
    files (Closes: #671485).
  * Make deb822 tests hermetic with respect to debian-keyring updates
    (Closes: #760488).

  * python_support: Avoid hashlib dependency, using the built-in _sha or
    _sha1 module (depending on Python version) instead.  That way we
    don't link in OpenSSL, which has an incompatible license.

0.1.18+squeeze1

Published in squeeze-release on 2012-01-28

python-debian (0.1.18+squeeze1) stable; urgency=low


  * Allow ':' as the first character of a value.  This fixes an
    implementation error where the paragraph

      Foo: : bar

    would be interpreted as

      {'Foo:': 'bar'}

    by the Python-native parser, while it would be correctly interpreted
    as

      {'Foo': ': bar'}

    by both the apt_pkg parser and the Python email library.

  [ Tshepang Lekhonkhobe ]
  * test_changelog.py: Close open files. (Closes: #625672)

  [ John Wright ]
  * deb822: Allow ':' as the first character of a value.
    (Closes: #597249)
  * deb822: Avoid dumping unparseable data. (Closes: #597120)
  * Clean up deb822.GpgInfo implementation:
    - Change several @staticmethod decorated methods to @classmethod,
      since they call the class constructor.
    - from_sequence now can accept both sequences of newline-terminated
      strings and the output of str.splitlines().
    - from_file now actually calls the from_sequence method.
      (Closes: #627058)
    - from_sequence now makes a copy of the initial args list before
      extending it. (Closes: #627060)
    - Keyrings are no longer checked for accessibility, since gpgv can
      accept keyring arguments that are under the GnuPG home directory,
      regardless of the current directory. (Closes: #627063)
  * deb822.Deb822.gpg_info takes an optional keyrings argument.
  * deb822: Don't interpret lines starting with '#'. (Closes: #632306)

  [ Colin Watson ]
  * Use dh_python2 instead of python-support. (Closes: #631392)
