22.52 Version 3.0.0
===================

Released June, 1999.

9.1

     Debian formally moves from the FSSTND to the FHS. This is a major
     change, and the implications of this move are probably not all
     known.

4.1

     Only 3 digits of the Standards version need be included in control
     files, though all four digits are still permitted.

12.6

     The location of the GPL has changed to
     ‘/usr/share/common-licenses’.  This may require changing the
     copyright files to point to the correct location of the GPL and
     other major licenses

10.2

     Packages that use libtool to create shared libraries must include
     the .la files in the -dev packages

10.8

     Use logrotate to rotate log files

now 11.8

     section 5.8 has been rewritten (Programs for the X Window System)

9.6; menu-policy

     There is now an associated menu policy, in a separate document,
     that carries the full weight of Debian policy

11.3

     Programs which need to modify the files ‘/var/run/utmp’,
     ‘/var/log/wtmp’ and ‘/var/log/lastlog’ must be installed setgid
     utmp
