22.5 Version 4.1.5
==================

Released July, 2018.

4.9.2

     Document how ‘debian/rules’ and the ‘Rules-Requires-Root’ field
     interact.

5.6.12

     You should not change a package’s epoch, even in experimental,
     without getting consensus on debian-devel first.

5.6.12.1

     Epochs should not be used for the purpose of rolling back the
     version of a package.  Use the +really convention.

5.6.31

     Document the ‘Rules-Requires-Root’ field.

9.1.1

     Update Debian’s version of the Filesystem Hierarchy Standard from
     2.3 to 3.0, and update the list of exceptions.  Only a tiny
     minority of packages, if any, should be made buggy by this change.

9.3.2 & 10.4

     Update version of POSIX standard for shell scripts from SUSv3 to
     POSIX.1-2017 (also known as SUSv4 in some contexts).
