paxtest (0.9.6-1) stable; urgency=low

   * Made the do_mprotect() call in body.c optional, thereby introducing two
     modes: script kiddie mode (which does not perform the do_mprotect()) and
     blackhat mode, which does.
   * Added a README file
   * Added Adamantix paxtest results
   * Removed -etdyn from the Adamantix make file
   * Replaced mprotect() in body.c with pthread calls (which eventually have
     the same result)
   * Added a nested function, to measure the effect of nested functions on the
     level of protection.
   * Added paxtest result from Gentoo hardened (thanks to Ned Ludd)
   * Added a new Makefile for Gentoo (thanks to Ned Ludd)
   * Fixed spelling errors (thanks to pageexec@freemail.hu)

2003

paxtest (0.9.5-2) unstable; urgency=low

   * First version uploaded to Debian (Closes: #222688, #222481)
   * Modified to run the generic Makefile instead of Adamantix's.
   * Moved from main section to devel.
   * Fixed typo in description.
   * Avoid creation of a logfile in paxtest and instead use redirection
     tricks to create logfile if asked for and log to stdout/stderr in
     any other case.
   * Wrote a manpage for paxtest.
   * Added Ingo Molnar's patch to check for non-executable thread stacks
     (since nobody objected to it in the discussion at debian-devel)
