     - Build-Depends: changed 'autotools-dev' to 'dh-autoreconf'
 
       Patch submitted by Logan Rosen <logatronico@gmail.com>
 
       I did not add 'help2man' to Build-Depends
       which his patch suggested, because this caused
       only a FTBFS in the versions 1.5 and 1.6 of recutils
       when using 'dh_autoreconf'.
 
       Upstream updated 'man/Makefile.in',
       so this is not an issue anymore.

     - recutils: changed Depends: from librec0 to librec1
     - recutils: removed 'dpkg (>= 1.15.4) | install-info' from Depends:
     - recutils: removed 'Section: database'
                 because it's already defined
                 in the source package
 
     - librec-dev: changed Depends: from librec0 to librec1
     - librec-dev: removed 'Replaces: librecutils-dev (<= 1.3-7)'

recutils (1.5-1) unstable; urgency=low

   * New upstream release
     - Version 1.5 (13 January 2012)
     - The utilities will now ask interactively for a password
       if it was not provided with the -s command line option.
       This avoids security problems related to shell history files.
     - Support for octal and hexadecimal numbers has been added.
       They can be used in both the records and selection expressions.
     - It is now possible to select a given number of random records
       in many of the utilities using the -m command line option.
     - The -n option now accepts a list of indexes, supporting ranges.
     - The new -U (uniq) option for recsel removes duplicated fields
       in the output records.
     - The new -q option allows to quickly search for the desired record
       without having to provide a complete selection expression.
     - Auto generated fields are now considered integers by default.
       This avoids repetitive patterns involving %auto and %type.
     - Tab characters are now allowed in blank lines betwwen records.
     - The API in rec.h is now better documented with comments, and improved.
     - recfix now exits with an error status
       if there is a parse error in some input file.
     - The usage of the internal data structures has been _vastly_ improved,
       resulting in a much faster operation.
     - Internal cleanup and code factorization.
     - Many, many, many bug fixes :D
   * debian/patches
     - removed all patches which are now fixed in the 1.5 release
     - added mdbtools-0.7-fix (Closes: #655780)

       of the backwards incompatible API change of mdbtools.
   * debian/control
      - Adding "libreadline-dev" to Build-Depends
        Used for interactive prompting and upstream
        is going to use it more in future releases

recutils (1.4-2) unstable; urgency=low

   * debian/patches

       when there is a parse error in the input recfile
   * "librec.la" already dropped in 1.3-12 (Closes: #633238)
   * Closing ITP. There is already a package in Debian (Closes: #653839)

     - Support for sorting with the new %sort special field.

     - It is now possible to use double quotes for delimiting string
       literals in selection expressions, as well as single quotes.
       Unescapted newline characters are also supported.
     - The manual has been vastly improved.
     - recfix now supports several operations: check, sort, encrypt and
       decrypt.
