NEWS.Debian contains:
libdbi-perl (1.631-1) unstable; urgency=medium NOTE: This release changes the handle passed to Callbacks from being an 'inner' handle to being an 'outer' handle. If you have code that makes use of Callbacks, ensure that you understand what this change means and review your callback code. -- gregor herrmann <[email protected]> Sat, 15 Feb 2014 23:38:30 +0100 libdbi-perl (1.630-1) unstable; urgency=low NOTE: This release enables PrintWarn setting by default, regardless of the value of the warnings switch (-w, use warnings, $WARNING, $^W).

These entries are displayed to apt-listchanges users when libdbi-perl is upgraded, whether these users are developing using libdbi-perl or simply have libdbi-perl installed as a dependency of MySQL or another package, as in the vast majority of cases. Thanks for documenting interface changes, but NEWS.Debian is not the place to do so for non-development packages. These changes could be documented somewhere else or nowhere. When a library has an unstable interface, developers are expected to check for backwards-incompatible changes when they upgrade (or when the library is changed, since their software may be distributed anyway). -- Filipus Klutiero http://www.philippecloutier.com -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
