dictd (1.10.2-1) unstable; urgency=low
* New upstream release. (closes: #339792) See /usr/share/doc/dictd/NEWS for a summary of changes in this version. 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.

dictd (1.9.11-5) unstable; urgency=low
* 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.

dictd (1.9.11-1) unstable; urgency=low
* 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.

2003
dictd (1.9.10-3) unstable; urgency=low
* 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
-- Robert D. Hilliard <hilliard@debian.org> Wed, 10 Dec 2003 20:28:30 -0500
dictd (1.9.10-2) unstable; urgency=low
* 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.
-- Robert D. Hilliard <hilliard@debian.org> Wed, 20 Aug 2003 18:37:12 -0400
dictd (1.9.10-1) unstable; urgency=low
* 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.)
-- Robert D. Hilliard <hilliard@debian.org> Mon, 04 Aug 2003 15:53:01 -0400
dictd (1.9.9-3) unstable; urgency=low

dictd (1.9.9-1) unstable; urgency=low
* 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

dictd (1.9.7-1) unstable; urgency=low
* 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.
-- Robert D. Hilliard <hilliard@debian.org> Sun, 16 Mar 2003 15:14:58 -0500
dictd (1.9.3-2) unstable; urgency=low

dictd (1.9.3-1) unstable; urgency=low
* 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.

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.

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.
* Patched dictfmt to prevent duplicating index entry for last item and
to correct help message.
* Removed /usr/doc symlinks in all postinst and prerm files.

dictd (1.7.1-1) unstable; urgency=low
* 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
make dictd know about locale.
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.

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.

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. :-(

addresses, but doesn't close Bug #104096.
* Made dictd informative messages (-h, -L and -V) display on stdout
instead of stderr, while still using stderr for error messages.
* Modified preinst to add user dictd if it doesn't already exist.
Patched dictd.c to run as user dictd if that user is present on the
system, and as user nobody otherwise.
* Created an option (--facility) to permit the user to choose which
syslog logging facility dictd should use.
* Included a patch by Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> to permit dictd to be

* 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.

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.
* Modified Makefile.in as done for previous version; made same changes

dictd (1.4.9-7) frozen unstable; urgency=low
* 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.

started.
