file (4.17-5) unstable; urgency=high

  * Initialize some previously uninitialized memory, this could lead to a
    segmentation fault when using magic_compile in libmagic (closes: #403085)

 -- Michael Piefel <piefel@debian.org>  Fri, 15 Dec 2006 13:36:12 +0100

file (4.17-4) unstable; urgency=medium

  * Add proper depends for python-magic (fixes not yet filed serious bug)

 -- Michael Piefel <piefel@debian.org>  Tue, 26 Sep 2006 14:01:00 +0200

file (4.17-3) unstable; urgency=low

  * Add example /etc/magic.mime and document the fact that file only look for
    a magic.mime file if the base magic file exists (closes: #382057)
  * Remove AWK detection by regular expression testing just for ‘BEGIN:’;
    this caused a lot of false guesses (and problems with naughty programs
    reading other programs’ files), this closes: #308305, #375403 and makes 
    others disappear (for the time being, for example, it closes: #375722)
  * Added Python 2.5 byte-compiled (closes: #376711)
  * Fix some bad MIME types (closes: #379042, thanks to Moritz Naumann)

 -- Michael Piefel <piefel@debian.org>  Mon, 14 Aug 2006 15:28:25 +0200

file (4.17-2) unstable; urgency=low

  * Using new python infrastructure now: python2.3-magic and python2.4-magic
    dropped in favour of python-magic containing all versions
  * Identify Mono assemblies (closes: #314756)

 -- Michael Piefel <piefel@debian.org>  Wed, 14 Jun 2006 11:39:15 +0200

file (4.17-1) unstable; urgency=low

  * New upstream (closes: #343648)
  * Improved over-confident 64bit-cracklib rule (closes: #343504)
  * Revert ELF file-reading (by Alessandro Rubini, closes: #345089)
  * Detect GNU/kFreeBSD binaries (by Robert Millan, closes: #307475)

 -- Michael Piefel <piefel@debian.org>  Wed, 15 Mar 2006 10:25:06 +0100

file (4.15-2) unstable; urgency=low

  * Add Build-Depends to python, although I really don’t see the point of the
    python package (since file Build-Depended transitively on python2.3
    anyway), which claims to be a dependency package only (closes: #333859)
  * Disabled EMF detection as it not only caused false positives, which might
    have been acceptible, but a segmentation fault (closes: #333502)
  * Move the magic databases from /usr/share/misc/file to /usr/share/file;
    this still violates the FHS in letter, but not in spirit; this is
    different from the position in other distros (closes: #215139, #278478)

 -- Michael Piefel <piefel@debian.org>  Fri, 14 Oct 2005 16:01:54 +0200

  * Mention possibly unexpected behaviour of -k in man page (closes: #259193)
  * ELF machine 21 can be PowerPC64 (closes: #299620)

  * Updated HP 38/39/40/48/49 magic (closes: #326680)

 -- Michael Piefel <piefel@debian.org>  Wed, 12 Oct 2005 10:35:17 +0200

    header parsing. Urgency set to high.
  * /etc/magic is read, as it should (Closes: #279324)

 -- Michael Piefel <piefel@debian.org>  Mon, 26 Jul 2004 12:58:40 +0200

file (4.09-1) unstable; urgency=low

  * New upstream version. This includes almost every patch that the Debian
    version had, so this package is very close to upstream's.

 -- Michael Piefel <piefel@debian.org>  Fri, 11 Jun 2004 14:35:30 +0200

file (4.07-2) unstable; urgency=low

  * Move the "debian-additions" magic file back in; it got lost
  * Move up "compress" in the list to test for gzip before FLI; this
    closes: #228391 - but what happens if I have a real FLI file that
    starts with the two gzip magic bytes?
  * Replace the really bad magic for MP3 in magic.mime with the one found
    in "animation" (closes: #227625)

 -- Michael Piefel <piefel@debian.org>  Tue, 20 Jan 2004 11:57:47 +0100

  * Added Mobipocket e-book (closes: #222855)

  * Added Sun/Cobalt boot ROMs (closes: #216867)
  * Made VMware magic more robust and (hopefully) correct (closes: #219037);
    file used to report nothing at all, due to an empty description string and
    heavy reliance on the subtype (which didn't match)

 -- Michael Piefel <piefel@debian.org>  Fri, 12 Dec 2003 13:25:34 +0100

file (4.02-3) unstable; urgency=low

  * Remove the nomgc symbol from the library (closes: #193355); this kind of

  * New upstream version

  * Description length limit is down to 64 again. The easy way, setting it in
    file.h, doesn't work anymore, and I've not yet found out why.
  * Upstream has made a library out of the magic number recognition routines.
    Consequently, split the package up into three binary packages, adding
    libmagic1 and libmagic-dev.

    - Closes: #184204

file (3.40-1) unstable; urgency=low

  * New upstream version (closes... no, this time I'm faster)
  * Switched Maintainer and Uploaders field, thereby effectively taken over
    the package after not having heard of the previous maintainer for about
    a year (finally officially closes: #174338, which is already closed)
  * No more whitespace on first line of debian/rules (closes: #164651)

    StuffIt magic now (closes: #170893)

  * Recognizes HTML even with whitespace (closes: #119193)
  * Do not hang on rapidly growing archives with -z (closes: #162896)
  * Remove CVS date from Ogg output, it is not very useful as version number
    is printed anyway, and may cause trouble as it is not a real string, thus
    breaking the output routine for LANG!=C (closes: #178479)
  * Fix alignment of multifile output and wide characters

 -- Michael Piefel <piefel@debian.org>  Sun, 16 Feb 2003 17:31:21 +0100

file (3.37-3) unstable; urgency=low

  * Implemented internal gzip support through the zlib library. It's much
    faster than executing gzip and it works better. Many small files that
    weren't properly handled now are. I've tested this with over 400 random
    gzipped files and it works, but please, report any problem with this.

    it with the amazing capability of handling EOF. Now file -z

    * Weak magic for AppleWorks spreadsheet data was removed
      (closes:Bug#110451,Bug#98447).
  * Remove warning for not using a compiled magic version for /etc/magic.
    I won't try to implement something to create a compiled version of
    /etc/magic as: 1) This fle is empty by default and will have only a few
    manually added entries, so there wouldn't be any speed gain; 2) It will
    add complexity and it wouldn't be trivial.
  * Added a note in magic2mime(1) deprecating its use.
  * No longer recognizes sunclock's "vector map format" as PostScript
    (closes:Bug#105930).
  * Added magic for cramfs and reiserfs from russell@coker.com.au
    (closes:Bug#105485, Bug#105508).
  * Added two Palm file formats from
    John Gruenenfelder <johng@bach.as.arizona.edu> (closes:Bug#104034).

    Matt Zimmerman <mdz@debian.org> (closes:Bug#91857).

    from Paul Martin <pm@nowster.zetnet.co.uk> (closes:Bug#83454).
  * Now shows which compressor a Debian package uses,
    contributed by Ben Collins <bcollins@debian.org> (closes:Bug#48389).
  * Removed creation date report from Debian magic, it no longer works.
    It seems that the gzipped members of the .deb file are no longer
    created with the proper date.
  * Added lots of Palm documents contributed by
    Michael-John Turner <mj@debian.org> (but replaced "document" with
    "PalmOS document") (closes:Bug#87759).

    formats contributed by peter@softwolves.pp.se (closes:Bug#90172).

    "unexpected end of file" error message) (closes:Bug#83317).
  * Minor updates to debian/rules.
  * Reordered description for MIPS object files to please weak parsing
    in libtool (closes:Bug#83303).

  * Code for detecting if an input stream is seekable assumed that lseek
    returns 0 on success, which is untrue, and file was copying every ELF
    file probed to a temporary file. Fixed (closes:Bug#82261).
    Found by Colin Watson <cjw44@flatline.org.uk>.

    added NUL termination of the uncompressed buffer
    (closes:Bug#16837,Bug#36724,Bug#37838).
  * If the file is ELF and is not seekable, `file' will now copy
    it to a temporary file because the ELF code needs to fseek
    everywhere in the file. The idea was from Adam Heath <adam@doogie.org>.
