dictd (1.5.5-5) unstable; urgency=low

  * Removed --html option from dict.c help message
    closes: #113479
>>html_help-patch

  * Made numerous corrections and clarifications to dictd.8, including
    conforming option documentation to the code.  Added a note about the
    include keyword and the Debian dictdconfig script, which partially
    addresses, but doesn't close Bug #104096.
>>dictd-general-patch
  
  * Made dictd informative messages (-h, -L and -V) display on stdout
    instead of stderr, while still using stderr for error messages.
>>dictd-general-patch
    
  * Modified preinst to add user dictd if it doesn't already exist.
    Patched dictd.c to run as user dictd if that user is present on the 
    system, and as user nobody otherwise.  
>>dictd-general-patch
  
  * Created an option (--facility) to permit the user to choose which
    syslog logging facility dictd should use.
>>facility-patch
  
  * Included a patch by Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> to permit dictd to be
    started by inetd; included README.inetd.gz explaining use of dictd with
    inetd.  Thanks, Joey.
    closes: #62998
>>inetd-patch
  
  * Removed spurious character (`1') from dictd prerm.
    closes: #131195
  
  * Included virtual packages dict-client and dict-server in dependency
    relationships.
  
  * Removed -Wwrite-strings from WCFLAGS in configure script.  This
    removes this flag from XTRACFLAGS in Makefile and avoids 70 compiler
    warnings caused by libc6-dev Bug #111767.

dictd (1.5.5-2) unstable; urgency=low

  * Made dictunzip.1 and dictzcat.1 as symlinks to dictzip.1 

  * Fixed the kludge for PID in preinst.

    and /usr/bin/dictzcat as symlinks to /usr/bin/dictzip
    closes #92694
>>dictzip-patch

dictd (1.5.5-1) unstable; urgency=low

  * new upstream version - incorporates _all_ previous Debian patches

  *  Previous release (1.5.4-1) fixed a parsing error in dict.c that
     caused it to segauflt in certain unusual cases.  This fixed
     Bug#77685, but it was omitted from the changelog.

  * Modified Makefile.in and libmaa/Makefile.in as in previous
    version.

dictd (1.5.4-1) unstable; urgency=low
  
  * new upstream version - incorporates almost all previous debian patches,
  and fixes the folowing bugs:
    Fixed typo (s/deby/deny/) in dictd manpage
    Closes: #78275
    Corrected output streams so dict help messages (including -V and -L)
    go to stdout and error messages still go to stderr.
    Closes #78596
>>diff_dict.c-help
    Corrected option listing in dict.c so getopt() will complain if
    argument is omitted for -s, and extended manpage text for the -s
    option.
    Closes #78597
    Disabled --html option in dict, and noted it in manpage.  This
    responds to, but doesn't fix, Bug#78975.  
>>diff_dict.c-help
  * Modified Makefile.in as done for previous version; made same changes
    in libmaa/Makefile.in.  Fixed man directory in Makefile.in.

  * Patched dict.c to fix pager problem.

  * Changed readme-dictd and my @db_order in dictdconfig to mention
    dict-devil.

dictd (1.4.9-9) stable; urgency=low
  
  * Note to ftp admins: This fixes a potential security hole, although
    there is no known exploit.
  
  * Patched dictd.c to make it drop root's groups and become group
    nogroup.  As reported by bug#75132, even though dictd dropped root
    privileges on starting, it retained root's group memberships.

    Closes: bug#48489
>>  diff_access-syntax (Not implemented in 1.5.0)

  * Patched dictd.c with patch from Kirk Hilliard <kirk@ghoti.com) to
    cause dictd to drop root privileges as soon as it starts, and to
    prevent dictd from trying to write a pidfile.  Thanks, Kirk.  This
    permits eliminating `su nobody' from the init.d script.
