22.38 Version 3.5.7
===================

Released August, 2002.

     Packages no longer have to ask permission to call MAKEDEV in
     postinst, merely notifying the user ought to be enough.

2.2.4

     cryptographic software may now be included in the main archive.

3.9

     task packages are no longer permitted; tasks are now created by a
     special Tasks: field in the control file.

11.8.4

     window managers that support netwm can now add 20 points when they
     add themselves as an alternative for ‘/usr/bin/x-window-manager’

10.1

     The default compilation options have now changed, one should
     provide debugging symbols in all cases, and optionally step back
     optimization to -O0, depending on the DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS environment
     variable.

7.6, 4.8

     Added mention of build-arch, build-indep, etc, in describing the
     relationships with Build-Depends, Build-Conflicts,
     Build-Depends-Indep, and Build-Conflicts-Indep.  May need to review
     the new rules.

8

     Changed rules on how, and when, to invoke ldconfig in maintainer
     scripts.  Long rationale.

`Added the last note in 3.5.6 upgrading checklist item regarding build
rules, please see below'
