2008

html2text (1.3.2a-10) experimental; urgency=low

   * debian/rules:
     - Really install NEWS.Debian as documentation.
   * debian/patches:
     - 220-nobs-when-stdout-is-a-tty.patch: deleted, useless now, since
       backspaces are not produced at all.
     - 400-remove-builtin-http-support.patch: refreshed.
     - 500-utf8-support.patch: refreshed.
     - 510-utf8-implies-nobs.patch: deleted, useless now.
     - New 510-disable-backspaces.patch: disable backspaces because parser
       cannot produce them rightly in multi-byte sequences now.
     - 611-recognize-input-encoding.patch:
       - Corrected to don't produce error if '-nometa' option was not supplied
         and input html doesn't contain valid 'meta http-equiv' tag.
       - Corrected to don't display debug info twicely (if -debug-parser or
         -debug-scanner was supplied).
       - Corrected: now parser always processes UTF-8 text, needed for proper
         output recoding.
       - Moved recoding code to separate function.
       - Close input stream directly after read, not after the processing.
       - Correctly mark the end of converted sequence.
     - New 630-recode-output-to-locale-charset.patch: convert output to current
       locale charset. (Closes: #498797)
     - 300-replace-zeroes-with-null.patch: renamed to
       800-replace-zeroes-with-null.patch.
     - New 810-fix-deprecated-conversion-warnings.patch: fix 'deprecated
       conversion from string constant to ‘char*’' warnings during build by
       supplying 'const' qualifier in needed places.
   * debian/README.Debian:
     - Renamed 'META HTTP-EQUIV' section to 'Input recoding'.
     - Added correct input encoding cases to 'Input recoding' section.
     - Added 'Backspaces' section.
     - Added 'Output recoding' section.
   * debian/html2text.1:
     - Mentioned that Debian version of html2text doesn't produce backspaces,
       so '-nobs' does nothing.
     - Added paragraph about input/output recoding.
   * debian/NEWS.Debian:
     - Corrected news for 1.3.2a-9.
   * debian/control:
     - Renewed long description.
   [unera]

     - 500-utf8-support.patch: corrected calculating length of utf8 string

     - 510-utf8-implies-nobs.patch: inserting backspaces by default is
       completely breaks the output when utf8 mode is used. Thus '-utf8' option

     - Updated last modified date.
     - Mentioned that '-utf8' now implies '-nobs'.
