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

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

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

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

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

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

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