  123. file (4.15-2) unstable; urgency=low
  124. * Add Build-Depends to python, although I really don’t see the point of the

  126. anyway), which claims to be a dependency package only (closes: #333859)
  127. * Disabled EMF detection as it not only caused false positives, which might
  128. have been acceptible, but a segmentation fault (closes: #333502)
  129. * Move the magic databases from /usr/share/misc/file to /usr/share/file;
  130. this still violates the FHS in letter, but not in spirit; this is

  150. header parsing. Urgency set to high.
  151. * /etc/magic is read, as it should (Closes: #279324)
  152. * No further changes to increase the slim chance of getting into Sarge.

  154. file (4.10-3) unstable; urgency=high

  157. * Fix MIME detection for 3DS (actually, remove it because it was hilarious,
  158. closes: #216368)
  159. * Do _not_ depend on gcc-3.4

  172. file (4.09-1) unstable; urgency=low
  173. * New upstream version. This includes almost every patch that the Debian
  174. version had, so this package is very close to upstream's.
  175. * Disable some more Apple magic (closes: #231476); curiously, most of the
  176. Apple magic is very weak.
  177. * Disable very weak Assembler magic (closes: #223328)
  178. * Disable weak AWK magic (closes: #223282)
  179. * Added DjVu magic (closes: #238570)
  180. * Removed erroneous 5th column in magic.mime (closes: #246428)
  181. * Better error report messages in two places (closes: #243446, #252951)
  182. * Use /etc/magic again (failed to touch Makefile.in, closes: #231306)

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

  198. * Unified HTML detection for normal and mime; handles the main complaint of
  199. #223340, but not all of it.
  200. * Added Hangul Word Processor File (closes: #219867)
  201. * Added Outlook personal folder (closes: #183764)
  202. * Added Mobipocket e-book (closes: #222855)

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