dpkg (1.2.0); priority=MEDIUM

  * dselect can sort packages by available and installed states, and
    display their version numbers.  (Use O, o and V.)
  * Hold is properly integrated as a real `wanted state', rather than
    a separate flag.
  * Epochs in version numbers implemented, using the syntax
    <epoch>:<version>-<revision>.  (Epoch not usually displayed.)
  * dselect disk method is architecture-independent (uses dpkg's
    installation architecture, and looks in the right part of the tree).

  * dselect disk method doesn't try to satisfy the predependencies of
    packages which are on hold.
  * Fixed conflict-related assertion failure.  (Bug#2784.)
  * conffiles do not cause file conflicts if the conflicting package
    is in the `configuration only' state.  (Bug#2720.)
  * Fixed messages where available version number was reported as installed
    version in conflict and dependency messages.  (Bug#2654, Bug#2974.)

  * New format .deb files are default even for a.out compiles (but
    a.out version of dpkg is in old format).
  * Characters @:= (at colon equals) in package names now strictly
    forbidden everywhere (_ is still allowed in existing packages).
  * New dpkg --print-installation-architecture option prints installation
    architecture (compiled in), rather than build architecture (determined
    from gcc -print-libgcc-file-name).

  * Version messages show whether compiled a.out or ELF (i386 only).
  * Fixed missing space in version syntax error messages.
  * Manpage dpkg.8 installed with warning about inaccuracy.

  * Guidelines don't say to stop and restart daemons in runlevels 2345;
    instead they say to start in 2345 and stop in 016.
  * Guidelines and version messages say just Debian Linux.
  * Guidelines typo fix `"stop2' => `"stop"'.  (Bug#2867.)

  * doc/Makefile.in clean properly deletes various guidelines.info* files.
