* `=' key in dselect really does `hold' rather than `unhold'.
* dselect dependency processing now interacts better with `hold'.
* dselect `I' key (not `i') modifies display of the info window.
* dselect shows unavailable packages as being unavailable.
* dselect main menu headings and many other strings changed to try to
discourage people from deselecting every package and using [R]emove.
Notably, `select' changed to `mark' throughout.
* dselect disk methods now print a few fewer double slashes.
* dselect disk access methods will offer to use dpkg --record-avail
to scan the available packages, if no Packages file is found.
* New dpkg --compare-versions option, for the benefit of scripts &c.
* New dpkg --clear-avail option forgets all available packages info.
* New dpkg --print-avail option, prints `available' data (from Packages, &c).
* dpkg usage message is more informative, but no longer fits on screen.
* dpkg --avail option renamed --record-avail.
* Latest dpkg-name from Erick Branderhorst.
* dpkg-scanpackages has more sensible problem reporting.
* postinst configure now gets null argument (not <unknown> or <none>)
when there is no previously configured version.
* Guidelines say that postinst configure is given previous version.
* Guidelines don't refer to maintainer-script-args.txt in main text.
* Guidelines (Texinfo source) uploaded separately.
* Own version of strcpy (used for debugging) removed.
* Interface to access methods document in source (doc/dselect-methods.txt).
* debian.buildscript moves changes file into parent directory.

* 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.

* Allow overwriting of conflicting packages being removed. (Bug#2614.)
* a.out control file says Pre-Depends: libc4 | libc. (Bug#2640.)
* ELF control file and libc dependencies changed to use finalised scheme.
* ELF control file and libc dependencies for i386 only. (Bug#2617.)
* Guidelines say use only released libraries and compilers.
* Install wishlist as /usr/doc/dpkg/WISHLIST.
* Remove spurious entries for Guidelines in info dir file.
* dpkg-deb --build checks permissions on control (DEBIAN) directory.
* Spaces in control file fields not copied by dpkg-split. (Bug#2633.)
* Spaces in split file part control data ignore. (Bug#2633.)
* Portability fixes, including patch from Richard Kettlewell.
* Fixed minor configure.in bug causing mangled GCC -W options.
