Change logs for gnubg source package in Sid

  • gnubg (1.07.001-3) unstable; urgency=medium
    
      * Built with GTK 3.  This is considered experimental and known to be
        buggy by upstream, but since Debian is trying to remove GTK 2 from the
        archive, there aren't a lot of other options.  Hopefully the bugginess
        will not be too noticeable.  Thanks to Bastian Germann for analysis
        and testing.  (Closes: #967443, #1036381)

  • gnubg (1.07.001-2) unstable; urgency=medium
    
      [ Debian Janitor ]
      * Remove constraints unnecessary since buster (oldstable):
        + gnubg: Drop versioned constraint on gnubg-data in Replaces.
    
      [ Russ Allbery ]
      * Change libfreetype6-dev build dependency to libfreetype-dev.
      * Update standards version to 4.6.2 (no changes required).

  • gnubg (1.07.001-1) unstable; urgency=medium
    
      * Update to new upstream version 1.07.001.
        - Include a new "score map" that simultaneously shows chequer play or
          cube analysis at multiple scores.
        - 3D graphics have been largely rewritten.
        - Expand the amount of user interface text that is translatable and
          use UTF-8 encoding uniformly.  Include a Finnish translation.
      * Disable the 3D board for now, since it's currently unusable with Mesa
        21.x and later (and was in the previous package as well).  It either
        segfaults or simply doesn't respond to mouse clicks.  This appears to
        be a problem in the picking code in gnubg rather than a bug in Mesa,
        and is fixed in the GTK 3 code, but that code is not yet ready for
        general use.
      * Stop overriding BUILD_DATE in the Debian build rules, since upstream
        added support for SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH.
      * Add upstream signature verification to debian/watch.
      * Add debian/upstream/metadata file.
      * Stop installing icons in /usr/share/pixmaps.  These were for the
        Debian menu system, support for which was removed in 1.06.001-1.
      * Disable import-orig merging in debian/gbp.conf, consistent with the
        recommendations in dgit-maint-debrebase(7).
      * Update standards version to 4.6.1 (no changes required).

  • gnubg (1.06.002-5) unstable; urgency=medium
    
      * Add ax_python_devel.m4 to the list of files replaced from
        autoconf-archive, fixing compilation against Python 3.10.  Thanks,
        Graham Inggs and Igor Gnatenko.
      * Remove --as-needed from the build, since this is now the default.
      * Fix spelling error in description of the sound command.
      * Convert the encoding of met/ortega.xml to UTF-8.
      * Update debian/watch to version 4 and use ftp.gnu.org as the source of
        new upstream versions, since files.gnubg.org has gone away.
      * Add a Lintian overrides file to suppress some false positives.
      * Change the canonical Git repository to Salsa.
      * Convert the source package to git-debrebase from quilt.
      * Change default packaging branch to debian/unstable.
      * Update debhelper compatibility level to V13.
      * Update standards version to 4.6.0 (no changes required).

  • gnubg (1.06.002-4) unstable; urgency=medium
    
      * Bump package version without other changes due to a dgit upload
        failure after it had committed to consuming the version number.
    
     -- Russ Allbery <email address hidden>  Wed, 23 Oct 2019 20:19:00 -0700
  • gnubg (1.06.002-2) unstable; urgency=medium
    
      * Increase the size of static buffers used to build messages during
        program start so that the Spanish translation doesn't overflow a
        buffer.  (Closes: #932351)
      * Change upstream homepage to the gnu.org page, since www.gnubg.org has
        been taken down at least temporarily.
      * Update to debhelper compatibility level V11.
        - Depend on debhelper-compat instead of using debian/compat.
      * Update standards version to 4.4.0 (no changes required).
    
     -- Russ Allbery <email address hidden>  Sun, 21 Jul 2019 12:15:00 -0700
  • gnubg (1.06.002-1) unstable; urgency=medium
    
      * New upstream release.
        - Fix cube value when clicking on a chequers tray in edit mode.
      * Add Suggests on sensible-utils, since sensible-browser is used to
        launch an external browser to report an upstream bug if wanted.
      * Remove Suggests of kbackgammon, which is no longer in Debian.
      * Determine override of __DATE__ macro from SOURCE_EPOCH_DATE via
        /usr/share/dpkg/pkg-info.mk and post-processing with the date command
        rather than parsing the output of dpkg-parsechangelog.
      * Update to standards version to 4.2.1 (no changes required).

  • gnubg (1.06.001-1) unstable; urgency=medium
    
      * New upstream release.
        - Various bug fixes to edit mode.
        - Distinguish Crawford games from post-Crawford ones.
        - Add Isight count to the Race Theory widget.
        - Fix crash on export to HTML.  (LP: #1680223)
      * Mark gnubg-data as Multi-Arch: foreign.
      * Add Rules-Requires-Root: no.
      * Update to debhelper compatibility level V11.
        - Remove now-unnecessary dh_autoreconf dependency and add-on.
      * Update to standards version 4.1.2.
        - Remove the menu file.
        - Switch to https for the debian/copyright format URL.
      * Remove trailing whitespace in debian/changelog.

  • gnubg (1.05.002-2) unstable; urgency=medium
    
      * Build the two-sided bearoff database by default if the debconf prompt
        is suppressed.  On nearly all modern systems, this is reasonably fast,
        and the prompt is at the normal level and therefore may be suppressed
        for a lot of people.  (Closes: #854906)
    
     -- Russ Allbery <email address hidden>  Sat, 11 Feb 2017 18:22:49 -0800
  • gnubg (1.05.002-1) unstable; urgency=medium
    
      * New upstream release.
        - Fix improper definitions of __attribute__ and _GNU_SOURCE that
          caused infinite loops during startup with newer versions of GCC.
          (Closes: #807756)
        - Remove some subpar random number generators.
        - Various bug fixes.
      * Drop spelling patch, applied upstream
      * Fix spelling error in gtkgame.c.
      * Update standards version to 3.9.8 (no changes required).
      * Fix duplicated words and incorrect name of GPL in debian/copyright
        (which makes it not match the source gettext file, but the meaning is
        now clearer, so seems like an adequate tradeoff).

  • gnubg (1.05.000-8) unstable; urgency=medium
    
      * Update glib-gettext.m4 before the build to build properly with new
        glib.  Thanks, Matthias Klose.  (Closes: #818889)
    
     -- Russ Allbery <email address hidden>  Sun, 27 Mar 2016 11:45:22 -0700
  • gnubg (1.05.000-7) unstable; urgency=medium
    
      * Switch back to the default version of GCC, since 4.9 is being removed.
        Disable optimization to work around the GCC bug that miscompiles gnubg
        (#807756), since there seem to be no good alternatives right now.
        (Closes: #818775)

  • gnubg (1.05.000-6) unstable; urgency=medium
    
      * Replace the CPU probe M4 macros before running autoreconf, where this
        might actually do some good, instead of after running autoreconf,
        where it doesn't.
      * Fix spelling of occurred in some warning messages.

  • gnubg (1.05.000-5) unstable; urgency=medium
    
      * Replace the CPU probe M4 macros at build time with versions from the
        autoconf-archive package, since the upstream ones fail CPU ID
        detection on the buildd hosts and abort configure.
    
     -- Russ Allbery <email address hidden>  Sun, 24 Jan 2016 22:18:21 -0800
  • gnubg (1.05.000-4) unstable; urgency=medium
    
      * Override the BUILD_DATE constant to be based on the debian/changelog
        date, allowing for reproducible builds.
      * Change the branch layout to follow DEP-14.
      * Run wrap-and-sort -ast on the package.
      * Refresh debian/copyright to add a few missing copyright statements and
        license variations in the build system.  No substantial changes.
      * Switch Vcs-Git and Vcs-Browser URLs to HTTPS.
      * Translation updates:
        - Portuguese (Brazilian), thanks Adriano Rafael Gomes.

  • gnubg (1.05.000-3) unstable; urgency=medium
    
      * Force gcc-4.9 as the compiler, since binaries built with gcc-5
        segfault or hang during startup.  Enable PIE (and all other hardening
        flags), since hardening turned out not to be the cause of this
        problem.  Works around #807756.
      * Fix the symlinks for the DejaVu fonts for the fonts-dejavu-core
        change.

        - Upgrade the random.org code to support HTTPS.
        - Fix import and export of variants (Hypergammon, etc.) when using the
          MAT file format.
        - Minor bug fixes and cleanup.
      * Add build dependency on libcurl4-openssl-dev for random.org support.

        - Improve position analysis with one-sided database.
        - Fix re-evaluation of play from the analysis panel.
        - Fix bug in MAT file import.
        - Support Python 3.x.

      * New upstream release.
        - Fix crash on termination or stopping an analysis.
        - Fix incorrect mutex management with newer GLIB.  (LP: #1346567)
        - Improved external interface that is re-entrant and supports quit and
          version commands.  Fix various other issues with this interface.
        - Multiple improvements to the Python support.
        - Add set aliases command to list player names for MAT file import.
        - Improvements to eXtreme Gammon file imports.
        - Display match statistics when a match analysis is completed.
      * Convert the packaging to a proper quilt series of changes to upstream
        instead of building with single-debian-patch.
      * Remove man pages added by the Debian packaging, since these have now
        been incorporated upstream.
      * Remove the strength comment in README.Debian, which is already covered
        sufficiently in the package description.
      * Convert the 16x16 and 32x32 PNG icons to XPM format during the build
        and reference them from the menu file.  Thanks to Markus Koschany for
        the report.  (Closes: #737914)
      * Drop now-unnecessary dh_builddeb override to use xz compression.
      * Update standards version to 3.9.5 (no changes required).

  • gnubg (1.02.000-2) unstable; urgency=medium
    
    
      * Setting urgency to medium because gnubg won't currently run on any
        host that does not have AVX SIMD extensions.
      * Return to the previous behavior of enabling only SSE2 on amd64 and not
        enabling any SIMD classes on i386 or ia64.  We can't assume anything
        about i386 processors (at least yet), and I don't know enough about
        ia64 to pick good defaults, so err on the side of safety.  Wikipedia
        claims that all x86-64 CPUs implement at least SSE2.  Disable support
        for AVX, fixing problems on hosts without it.  (Closes: #724685)

      * New upstream release.
        - Enable sound properly if available but not enabled by default.
        - Fix segfault after requesting a hint on a resignation in a previous
          game in the match.  (Closes: #722956)
        - New command-line option -s to specify the preferences directory.
        - Preliminary support for a Python interface to hinting.
        - Fix the stop button on the status bar.
        - Memory and CPU usage improvements.
        - Fix some unnecessary pop-up messages.

  • gnubg (1.01.003-1) unstable; urgency=low
    
    
      * New upstream release.
        - Now correctly finds GTKGLEXT.  (Closes: #713503)
        - Disable overlay scroll bars on Ubuntu, which works around a problem
          with GtkCList on current Ubuntu.  (LP: #1002063)
        - Use stronger default settings for the computer opponent.
        - Update neural nets for better play.
        - Various improvements to the Python interface.
        - Multiple bug fixes.
      * Drop the override in gnubg.desktop to disable overlay scroll bars.
        This should now be handled by the build system.
      * Drop special per-architecture handling of --enable-sse.  Upstream now
        probes for this during configure and at runtime and should do the right
        thing.
      * Move query_player.sh to /usr/share/doc/gnubg/examples since it
        requires editing before it can be used.
      * Add some keywords to the desktop file.  (It's quite hard to tell what
        would be useful here.  Backgammon is already covered by GenericName.)
      * Simplify debian/rules handling of suppressing bearoff database builds
        now that the buildds use build-arch and build-indep properly.
      * Move the tools for building the documentation to Build-Depends-Indep.
        Pre-build versions of the documentation will be used by the upstream
        build system and then discarded during a binary-only build, so this
        saves some work installing packages on the buildds.
      * Remove the beta software warning from the description.  GNU Backgammon
        has been quite stable for years and now has a 1.0 release.
      * Use xz compression for the binary packages.
      * Update watch file for new upstream release naming.
      * Remove get-orig-source target since the upstream source no longer
        requires repacking and there are now regular release tarballs.
      * Rewrite debian/copyright into copyright-format 1.0.
      * Update standards version to 3.9.4 (no changes required).

      * New upstream development snapshot.
        - Remove inclusion of specific glib headers, which is no longer
          permitted as of glib 2.32.  (Closes: #665539)
      * Update mkinstalldirs in the source package to work around a strange
        interaction between autoreconf and dh_autoreconf where the former will
        update it, the latter will therefore remove it on clean, and then the
        former will not copy it back into the tree.

  • gnubg (0.90+20120127-2) unstable; urgency=low
    
    
      * Fix the logic to avoid building the bearoff database for arch-only
        builds.  We can't use an -indep override of dh_auto_build yet, since
        the buildds still call that.  Instead, use an -indep override of
        dh_prep to re-enable building the bearoff database for
        arch-independent builds.  Should fix build issues on kFreeBSD, where
        for some reason system limits never allow building the bearoff
        database.
      * Set LIBOVERLAY_SCROLLBAR to 0 in the gnubg desktop file when starting
        gnubg.  This works around a bug in either gnubg or Ubuntu's desktop
        that causes the desktop to become unresponsive until the program is
        killed.  Thanks, Michael Petch.  (LP: #932455)

          (LP: #310236, #433487, #666298, #755247, #762221)
      * Incorporate NMU (thanks, Steve M. Robbins):
        - Change libgmp3-dev build dependency to libgmp-dev.
      * Update to debhelper compatibility level V9.
        - Enable compiler hardening flags.
        - Use dpkg-buildflags environment variables to add --as-needed.
        - Use the new -arch and -indep override support to handle selectively
          suppressing the builds of the bearoff databases.
      * Use dh-autoreconf to rebuild the Autotools build system.
      * Move the /usr/share/gnubg/gnubg.wd symlink to the gnubg package to
        avoid shipping a dangling symlink to gnubg-data.  The old way worked,
        but the symlink and its target may as well be in the same package.
      * Update to Debian source package format 3.0 (quilt) with a single
        Debian patch and a local patch header.
      * Translation updates:
        - Italian, thanks Francesca Ciceri.  (Closes: #657451)

      * Avoid building the one-sided rollout database during an
        architecture-dependent build.  Not only does this avoid wasted time on
        the buildds, since it's an architecture-independent file, but it
        should hopefully fix FTBFS problems on the kfreebsd-* buildds.
