doc-base (0.11) unstable; urgency=medium

  [ Lev Lamberov ]
  * Fix typo in documentation

  [ Eduard Bloch ]
  * Fix typo in German translation

  [ Robert Luberda ]
  * Initial Portuguese translation of manpage (closes: #964798). Thanks
    to Américo Monteiro.
  * Fix a long-standing issue with doc-base trigger failures on upgrades of
    packages that provided doc-base files from which install-docs could not
    generate output control file in /var/lib/doc-base documents.  In such a
    case doc-base did not store information about input /usr/share/doc-base
    files in its files database, what resulted in trigger failure on later
    upgrade of the package (closes: #735418, #931705, LP: #1385362,
    LP: #1607755, LP: #1726384, LP: #1755880).
  * Remove support for scrollkeeper/rarian, as the packages have been
    already removed from Debian (closes: #928635). Unfuzzy translations
    of documentation.
  * Bump debhelper's compat to 13.
  * Standards-Version: 4.5.1.

  * Upload to unstable.
  * Move `Registering with...' messages from InstallDocs.pm to

doc-base (0.8.7) unstable; urgency=low

  * Introduce /var/lib/doc-base/documents and dynamic generation of files
    there in doc-base control file format.  Interfaces like dhelp, dwww,
    or doc-central should use that dir instead  of /usr/share/doc.
  * Add support for merging control files to allow multiple binary packages
    provide the same documentation but in different formats.
  * Try to standarize values of the Section: field.
  * Add /etc/doc-base/documents in order to made it possible to register
    local documents with doc-base  (closes: #213847).

  * Dhelp.pm:
    + don't generate .dhelp files, since dhelp 0.6 no longer supports them.
    + add a code to register/unregister doc-base control files with dhelp,
      but not enable it yet.

  * postinst: Remove all already generated .dhelp files and reregister
    installed documentation files.
  * Documentation update.

 -- Ubuntu Archive Auto-Sync <email address hidden>   Mon,  03 Dec 2007 09:52:27 +0000

doc-base (0.8.6) unstable; urgency=low

  * Rewrite Dhelp.pm to improve performance and minimise number dhelp_parse
    calls, which after its reimplementation in Ruby started to be extremally
    slow (it took `install-docs -I' ages to finish). Now, dhelp_parse will
    be called at most two times in each install-docs invokation.
  * Use 3-args open(), and also quote fields' values in our status file in
    order not to fail on control files containing spaces (closes: #444889).
  * Implement more checks of doc-base files, like unknown fields, duplicated
    fields, fields in wrong sections (closes: #423120). Turn them into
    warnings, since if they are errors, too many packages will fail to
    install.
  * Document.pm: try to minimise number of write_status_file() calls.
  * Ignore SIGINT and some other signals while doing critical operations.
  * Scrollkeeper.pm: scrollkeeper doesn't like `&' character (see bug#429847),
    replace it with `(and)'.
  * More code refactoring, but still not finished: use prototypes, fix typos,
    standarize messages, etc.

doc-base (0.8.5) unstable; urgency=low

  * DocBaseFile.pm: don't die() on invalid doc-base files (closes: #425686).
  * Fix a typo in Dhelp.pm.
  * Document the Author field (closes: #427794).

 -- Ubuntu Archive Auto-Sync <email address hidden>   Tue,  23 Oct 2007 15:56:23 +0100

doc-base (0.8.4) unstable; urgency=low

  * Split install-docs into modules to make the code more manageable.
  * Try to avoid bugs like #278495: if our modules can't be loaded when
    (de)registering documentation files, create special flag file and
    reregister all the documents after install-docs is usable again.
  * Add support for (de)registering multiple documents in one install-docs
    invokation (closes: #114692).
  * Add --check/-c option to install-docs (closes: #35895), also add --rootdir
    option.
  * Remove `Registered-to-XXX' statuses, remove *.list files, deprecate the
    -L/--listfiles option. Names of the generated files are now keep in
    the status file in `Scrollkeeper-omf-files' and `Dhelp-files'  fields.
  * Change semantics of -r/--remove option: its arguments should be the names
    of previously installed doc-base files, and not the documents IDs. Still
    support the old semantics for backward compatibility.
  * Introduce -I/--install-all, -R/--remove-all, -d/--debug, -h/--help options.

  * Change the build system, create Makefile and let it do all the work.

  * doc-base.sgml:
    + Update outuput of --status, remove reference to --listfiles.
    + Add chapter about checking syntax of control files.
    + Update syntax of --remove option.

  * Dhelp support:
    + Pass a list of all registered files to dhelp (closes: #128493).
    + Create dhelp files only in top-level documentation dirs
      (i.e. /usr/share/doc/$package instead of /u/s/d/$package/something).
      According to dhelp's documentation this is the right thing to do.
      Also this should avoid problems with symlinks like #21678.
    + Add a special `x-doc-base-id' tag to generated dhelp files to make it
      possible to distinguish items in the dhelp files. When installing new
      documents existing files are no longer overwritten (closes: #204195),
      but on the other hand on documents removal the dhelp files may not be
      removed, which possibly reintroduces bugs like #59850.
    + Don't call dhelp_parse {-d,-a} on files that weren't changed.

  * Scrollkeeper support:
    + Fix broken non-empty directories check.
    + Save generated series id in `Scrollkeeper-sid' status field and use it
      for following registrations of the same document.
    + Call scrollkeeper-update only once in each invokation of install-docs.

  * Dwww support:
    + skip running update-menus if dwww package doesn't seem to be installed.

doc-base (0.7.21ubuntu2) feisty; urgency=low

  * debian/control: Update maintainer fields according to debian-
    maintainer-field spec.

 -- Martin Pitt <email address hidden>   Thu, 22 Feb 2007 13:29:26 +0000

doc-base (0.7.21ubuntu1) edgy; urgency=low

  * Resynchronise with Debian.
  * Use the HTML-encoding function written for dhelp support rather than our
    own, which encoded < and > incorrectly.
  * Encode characters outside ASCII as numeric character entities rather
    than outputting them as UTF-8; with a little care, this allows us to
    avoid the use of Unicode::String. (install-docs is used
    opportunistically by maintainer scripts without a dependency, so it must
    behave as if it were Essential and work correctly when unconfigured.)
  * Write OMF files even if they already exist.
  * Fix typo in scrollkeeper.map ("Appls/Graphics" -> "Apps/Graphics").
