2006

link-grammar (4.2.2-4) unstable; urgency=low

   * Fix stupid bashism in debian/rules (Closes: #376478)
   * Return to quilt for patches to more easily manage the changes
     introduced in the last two versions. Next time, I won't remove
     quilt, even when I have no patches.
   * Bump standards-version to 3.7.2
   * Fix homepage pseudo-field to have 2 spaces at the beginning so p.d.o
     can parse it correctly.

link-grammar (4.2.2-3) unstable; urgency=low

   * Get my fix for the sentence length error message correct so it
     doesn't leak memory.
   * Import prototype for safe_strdup() to prevent crashes on amd64
     (Closes: #366490) Thanks to Dann Fraizer, and his script on the
     AMD64 buildd.

link-grammar (4.2.2-2) unstable; urgency=low

   * Updated manpage to be more clear. Thanks to Maru Dubshinki
     <marudubshinki@gmail.com> (Closes: #364532)
   * Merged patch from upstream CVS to handle unset $LANG.
     (Closes: #364738)
   * Don't use sentence to generate error message after deleting it.
     (Closes: #366136). I have not done an audit to find other cases of
     this.

link-grammar (4.2.2-1) unstable; urgency=low

   * New Upstream Release
   * Eliminate quilt use, and eliminate all patches.
     - Patches for dictionary selection were merged upstream
     - Rename the commandline parser using debian/rules rather than
       reautotooling.
   * Install -T is broken despite being documented in the man page. Work
     around that in debian/rules (Closes: #359280)

link-grammar (4.1.3-2) unstable; urgency=low

   * The commandline parser (and not the search path) should have been
     patched to fix dictionary selection (Closes: 352165)
   * Use alternatives system to manage the default dictionary for the
     command-line parser

2005

link-grammar (4.1.3-1) unstable; urgency=low

   * Initial release Closes: #337277
   * Patches:
    - dictionary-path-references
      Since the dictionaries live in data/en, they don't need to refer to
      en/words as this would really mean data/en/en/words which doesn't
      exist.
    - binary-name
      Named this link-grammar instead of grammar-parse. Partly personal
      preference, and partly because if other kinds of grammar get added
      to Debian, this one shouldn't have the generic name.
    - default-english-dictionary
      Make link-grammar use the english dictionary in data/en as the
      default.  (Upstream stored the dictionary in data/en, but told the
      program to refer to the nonexistent one in data/)
    - acinclude_binreloc
      Needed to reautotoolize.
    - reautotoolize
      Reautotoolize to deal with the stuff done in binary-name and
      default-english-dictionary
