Most significantly, dictd now uses internal implementations of
UCS-2/UTF-8 functions. Thus, dictd no longer need to specify a utf-8
locale with the --locale option in order to use dictionaries encoded
in utf-8. (closes: #232227, #314325, #292068, #297616)
Upstream release also fixes a typo for the dict(1) man page.
(closes: #310349, #336049)
* Fixed typo in package description. (closes: #311138)
* Pached libmaa/log.c to prevent logging buffer overflow.
* The pid file is back, so changed /etc/init.d/dictd accordingly.
Note that dictd still drops root privileges in favor of dictd.dictd
immediately after writing the pid file.
* New upstream version.
* Patched dictl so that the argument may conatain an apostrophe.
Closes: #263819
* Removed unused colorit script and man page. Closes: #263012

Closes: #253130
* Stop dictd --inetd from logging to stderr. Closes: #257886
* New upstream version.
* New upstream version.

* Added dictd | dict-server "suggests" for dict. Closes: #240418
* Improved error message which had suggested -v option even when -v is
used. Closes: #240274

Closes: #238612
* Patched dict.1 to reflect the Debian location of dict.conf (this was
overlooked in 1.9.12-1).
* Updated NEWS.Debian.gz
* New upstream version. See /usr/share/doc/dictd/NEWS for a summary of
major changes in this version.
* Wrong DICTL_CHARSET evaluation has ben corrected in dictl, based on a
patch submitted by Roland Rosenfeld <roland@spinnaker.de>. Thanks
Roland. Closes: #231545
* Updated /usr/share/doc/dictd/README.Debian.gz to reflect the
conversion of the mueller7-dict and muller7accent-dict to utf-8
encoding, and to mention the broken status of the dict-freedict*
packages.
* Upstream didn't accept the modification to dictl in 1.9.11-2, so I have replaced dictl with dictl from CVS. Closes: #231401 (really this time).
# Added Depends: recode to dict, needed to make dictl work.
* Kirk Hilliard <kirk@debian.org> has patched dictfmt.c to improve
handling of multipole headwords (added the --break-headwordsoption),
and modified dictfmt.1 accordingly. Thanks, Kirk!
* Updated /usr/share/doc/dictd/README.Debian.gz to reflect the
conversion of dict-de-en to utf-8 encoding.
* Corrected typo in dictfmt.1
* Patched dictfmt.c to corrrect formatting of database-info with the -f
option.
* Modified dictl script to test for the presence of /usr/bin/recode, and default to using iconv if recode is not present. Closes: #228700
* New upstream version. See /usr/share/doc/dictd/NEWS for a summary of
major changes in this version.
* Upstream now provides a NEWS file. The changelog was inadvertenmtly
omitted from the distributed package. Added symlink from NEWS.gz to
changelog.gz as a temporary correction.
* Moved dict.conf from /etc/ to /etc/dictd/. This permits using
./configure --sysconfdir=/etc/dictd instead of patching defs.h.
* The dictd binary package no longer includes the plug-in shared
libraries (dictdplugin_exit.so and dictdplugin_popen.so) in
/usr/lib/dictd, and the man_popen files (man_popen.dict,
man_popen.index, and search_man) in /usr/share/dictd/examples.
/usr/share/doc/dictd/README.Plugins.gz has been modified to reflect
this change.
* If dictd fails due to incompatiability of a database locale with
dictd's locale, it is now logged. Closes: #216981
* Edited dictfmt.1 to clarify what goes into the 00-database-info and
what is considered the first headword. Closes: #209055
* dictfmt is broken in 1.9.11. Inserted dictfmt.c, libmaa/string.c and
libmaa/maa.h from CVS (Mon, 06 Jan 2004) into source tree, and patched
dictfmt.c to fix some formatting problems.
* Added /usr/share/doc/README.Dictd-locales.gz to clarify the use of the
--locale option. Closes: #213745
* Added /usr/share/doc/NEWS.Debian.gz
* Applied patch from Grant Hollingworth <grant@antiflux.org> to
dictfmt.c. This patch eliminates indentation errors in the first
headword of a .dict file. This makes `dict -i-' and `dict
00-database-info' work correctly. Thanks, Grant. Closes: #221184
* Added "Usage:" line to help screens for dict, dictd, and dictfmt.
Closes: #221945
* quoted "$PAGER" in test in dictl Closes: #204284.
* Applied patch by Kirk Hilliard to clientparse.y to accept the keyword
pager (/usr/bin/pager) as the name of the pager in dict.conf.
Closes: #204375
* Modified manpage dictd.8 to clarify the necessity of dictd's --locale
setting matching the databases in the configuration file.
* Modified manpage dict.1 to mention the default pager used.
* New upstream version. Major changes include:
Added -t option to dictfmt.
The predefined DICT servers dict.org and alt0.dict.org are disabled in
dict by default.
Implemented 'filter' option to dictd.
Added several configure variables to specify specific LD_FLAGS for
particular executables. (Not meaningful for users of Debian binary
packages.)
* When purging dictd, postrm now uses rmdir --ignore-fail-on-non-empty
instead of rm -fr to remove configuration directories.
* Patched defs.h to use /etc/dictd/ for dictd.conf
* Added a conffile, /etc/default/dictd, containing startup options for
dictd. This will make it easier to specify command line options, such
as the locale to be used by dictd, and logging options.
Closes: #109461, #198402, #174696
* Added note specifying Debian location of dictd.conf under "FILES" in
dictd.8. Closes: #202951
* Included a script, /usr/bin/dictl, as a wrapper for dict. This script
converts characters encoded in utf-8 to the user's preferred character
set. Closes: #147482
* Deleted statement in dictd.8, under "BUGS", that says there is no way
to get a running server to re-read the configuration file. (This
should have been done in 1.9.3-1.)
* Added #include <assert.h> in dictdplugin_popen.cpp Closes: # 195405
* Corrected references to configuration file in README.Debian and in
dictd.8
* Changed dictd.8 to mention that a SIGHUP makes dictd re-read the
confioguration file.
* New upstream version (1.9.8 was not packaged). Major changes since
1.9.7 include:
debian inetd patch has been included by upstream.
dictd may now be compiled and run on Cygwin.
dict is patched to prevent segfaulting on abnormally long command
lines. Closes: #166336
* dictdconfig now recognizes *.sufix and *.word index files and creates
appropriate configuration entries.
* Added `-D_REENTRANT' to CFLAGS for plugin libraries.
# The definition of DICTD_CONFIG_NAME has moved from dictd.h to defs.h,
so patch for config files in /etc/dictd/ ha also moved to defs.h
* use -fPIC for plugin libraries Closes: #185092
* New upstream version. (1.9.5, 1.9.6 and 1.9.7 were released too
quickly for me to package 1.9.5 and 1.9.6) Major changes since 1.9.3
include:
Added --add-strategy option
Added ability to define plugins in the configuration file.
Added ability to define virtual dictionaries in the configuration file.
Added keyword 'invisible' for the databse specification of the
configuration file.
Various bugfixes and code cleanups.
* Plugin libraries and sample plugin man_popen are compiled and included
in the dictd package as examples.
* Removed emacs variables from changelog.
* Use `./configure --verbose --prefix=$(PREFIX) --libexecdir=/usr/lib/dictd
--datadir=/usr/share/dictd --sysconfdir=/etc' in
rules instead of tweaking Makefile.in
* changelog for 1.9.3-1 failed to mention that changing the location
of dictd configuration files required patching dictd.h (since the
configuration directory is in CFLAGS, and all executables use the same
CFLAGS).
* The scripts dictfmt_index2suffix, dictfmt_index2word, dictfmt_virtual,
and dictunformat are included in the dictfmt package.
* Made postrm "rm -fr /etc/dictd when called with purge. Closes: #180562
* Corected typo in rules file that installed dictfmt_virtual.1 under the
name of dictfmt_index2suffix.1
* Modified default confile dictd.order to have the same order as the
dictdconfig default.
* Compiled for woody (libc6 2.2.5-11.2)
* New upstream version. Major changes in this version include:
Virtual dictionaries support; script to create them provided
New search strategy 'word'
Configuration file reloading by SIGHUP
A lot of plugin enhancements and two plugin examples.
Optional index_suffix and index_word files are supported, and scripts
are provided to create them.
dict_unformat script is provided to create raw database files from
.dict and .index files.
Servparse.y now works with bison 1.75.
dict -D and dict -S will display long dictionary or stratgey names
sanely. Closes: #165787
* dictdconfig now reads /etc/dictdconfig.alias to optionally make
database name different than basename of .dict.dz file. This enhances
the above fix to #165787.
* Pached Makefile.in to fix configuration and installation directories
* Modified init file to use SIGHUP for restart.
* Patched index.c so dictd will startup without error if the config file
includes the /dev/null default database. Closes: #171943
* Added inetd patch.
* Patched dictzip.c to prevent segfault on excessively long command
lines. Closes: #166325
* Removed redundant `--' from deluser ----remove-home dictd &>/dev/null
in postrm.
* Prepared manpages dictfmt_virtual.1, dictunformat.1,
dictfmt_index2suffix.1, dictfmt_index2word.1.
* dictdconfig knows about the database_exit directive, and will insert
it in /var/lib/dictd/db.list if found in /etc/dictd/dictd.order.
* Moved dictd and dictdconfig configuration files to /etc/dictd/.
* Patched dict.c to make --serverinfo work as advertised.
Closes: #179127
*Compiled in woody, with bison 1.35

Enhanced 8bit, UTF-8, and i18n support in both dictd and dictfmt.
dictd supports plugins (but they aren't documented)
dictfmt is now part of the dictd source package
dictd uses the system libz (the Debian package has done this since
1.5.5-10).
* Updated dictd and dictfmt manpages to reflect new options, and correct
the most egregious errors and omissions of the original dictfmt manpage.

* Bison 1.75 breaks servparse.y. Hacked Makefile.in to use byacc - this
produces a ton of warnings, but seems to work.
Changed Build-Depends: from bison to byacc
* Corrected readme-inetd - s|/etc/init.d/dictd|/etc/inetd.d| Closes: #167596
* Moved dict | dict-client from Suggests: to Recommends:
* Added `Conflicts: dictd (<< 1.7.1-1)' to dictzip control file.
Closes: #153228
* New upstream version - includes all previous debian patches except
inetd patch. Major changes in this version include:
Added sanity checks and moved logging so that people get information about
unreadable configuration files, unreadable databases files, and other
errors that prevent startup (and were previously silent).
Closes: #137500
Improved reporting of authentication matching and access denial.
Fixed dictunzip problem with single chunk files.
Closes: #142672
Made -l connect log something (under :K:)
Added --locale option, and applied patches from Aleksey Cheusov to

If LC_CTYPE and LC_COLLATE are the same for dictfmt and dictd, then a
non C collating order should work.
Make sure pager is closed when reporting fatal error.
Closes: #141846
Modified code for Access Specification to add a range of IP addresses
and an IP address followed by a netmask to the allowable forms of
allowed addresses.
Closes: #137143
* Modified configure.in to link against system zlib instead of local
zlib, and modified dict.h, dictd.h, and dictzip.h to #include <zlib,h>
instead of "zlib.h".
* Modified Makefile.in and libmaa/Makefile.in to not remove configure
on distclean and to honor DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS.
* Applied inetd patch.
* Modified rules file to make a separate dictzip package. To avoid
transition problems, dictd depends on dictzip. This dependency may be
removed when woody+1 is released.
Closes: #141190
* Added dependencies on netbase and adduser.
Closes: #147784
* Added -c option to start-stop-daemon in /etc/init.d/dictd.
Closes: #140513

"deluser ----remove-home dictd &>/dev/null || true"
This will permit this version of dictd to be purged, but, of course it
can't do anything about the previous version. :-(
Closes: #147989
* Security update for zlib vulnerability
* Modified configure and dictzip.c to use system library zlib1g-dev and
/usr/include/zlib.h instead of local zlib and zlib.h; compiled with
zlib1g 1.1.4-1

it is empty. closes: #137984
* Added \n to access denied error message. closes: #137499
* Added ``allow 127.0.0.1'' to access specification in dictd.conf to
avoid failure when localhost is not the first name after the IP
address in the /etc/hosts file. This is a temporary work around for
#137500 and #138156.
* Corrected spelling in long description - s/Amrose/Ambrose/.
* Patched servscan.l to fix parse error of IP addresses in the access
section of /etc/dictd.conf. (This had been fixed in 1.4.9-3, but
wasn't included in 1.5.x.) closes: #136380
* Added ``allow localhost'' to default /etc/dictd.conf file to prevent

* Previous release (1.5.4-1) fixed a parsing error in dict.c that
caused it to segauflt in certain unusual cases. This fixed
Bug#77685, but it was omitted from the changelog.
* Modified Makefile.in and libmaa/Makefile.in as in previous
version.
* new upstream version - incorporates almost all previous debian patches,
and fixes the folowing bugs:
Fixed typo (s/deby/deny/) in dictd manpage
Closes: #78275
Corrected output streams so dict help messages (including -V and -L)
go to stdout and error messages still go to stderr.
Closes #78596
Corrected option listing in dict.c so getopt() will complain if
argument is omitted for -s, and extended manpage text for the -s
option.
Closes #78597
Disabled --html option in dict, and noted it in manpage. This
responds to, but doesn't fix, Bug#78975.

in libmaa/Makefile.in. Fixed man directory in Makefile.in.
* Patched dict.c to fix pager problem.
* Changed readme-dictd and my @db_order in dictdconfig to mention
dict-devil.

* Patched dictd.c to make it drop root's groups and become group
nogroup. As reported by bug#75132, even though dictd dropped root
privileges on starting, it retained root's group memberships.
* Added vera to my @db_order in dictdconfig
* Modified preinst, readm-dictd and control.
* Rlease Manager: This should be safe for frozen since it only adds a
sleep command in /etc/init.d/dictd restart and uogrades the control
file for the latest versoinp of the policy manual.
* Restart is implemented in /etcinit.d/dictd restart by stopping and
restarting the daemon. It is possible for the start command to be
issued before the daemon is stopped, in which case the daemon is not
started.
Added a pause between stopping and restarting the daemon.
Closes: #59321
