 .
   * checks/*:
     + [NT] Simplified some bit operations done on file permissions.
   * checks/binaries:
     + [NT] Fix false-negative missing-dependency-on-phpapi when the
       binary included a "SOVERSION" in its name.  Thanks to Ondřej
       Surý for the report.  (Closes: #662936)
   * checks/changelog-file:
     + [NT] Do not emit "no-upstream-changelog" for transitional
       packages.  Thanks to Paul Wise for the report.
       (Closes: #660076)
   * checks/cruft:
     + [NT] Added missing "unless" in the code.  Fixes false
       positive "source-contains-waf-binary".  Thanks to
       Dmitrijs Ledkovs for the report.  (Closes: #661561)
   * checks/debhelper:
     + [NT] Fix FP executable-debhelper-file-without-being-executable
       emitted for directories.  Thanks to Felix Geyer for the report
       and the patch.  (Closes: #663447)
   * checks/files.desc:
     + [NT] Fix a typo in a tag description.  Thanks to Ludovic
       Rousseau for spotting it.  (Closes: #663759)
   * checks/scripts:
     + [NT] Allow fontforge-nox as (alternative) provider for the
       fontforge interpreter.  Thanks to Martin Erik Werner for
       the report.  (Closes: #661363)
     + [NT] Move %interpreters map to a separate data file.
   * checks/source-copyright.desc:
     + [NT] Update references for copyright-format checks.  Thanks
       to Thijs Kinkhorst for the report and the patch.
       (Closes: #661778)
     + [NT] Added trailing slash to copyright-format URLs in tag
       descriptions for consistency with the policy.
 .
   * collection/*:
     + [NT] Removed assumption that "cwd" is the same as the
       directory for the package being examined.
   * collection/java-info:
     + [NT] Added missing "use Util".
   * collection/scripts:
     + [NT] Use "fail" from Util.pm rather than using an embedded
       copy.
   * collection/strings:
     + [NT] Use Lintian::Collect to find ELF files.
 .
   * data/scripts/interpreters:
     + [NT] New file.
 .
   * frontend/lintian:
     + [NT] Pass directory of the package to the collections.
 .
   * lib/Lintian/Check.pm:
     + [NT] Fixed false positive "*-address-malformed" if the local
       part of the email was "0".  Thanks to Christopher Vollick for
       the report.  (Closes: #663659)
   * lib/Lintian/Tag/Info.pm:
     + [NT] Fixed issue where "Experimental: no" was handled as a
       "yes" when generating a tag description.
   * lib/Util.pm:
     + [NT] If no locale can be found, just set LC_ALL to en_US.UTF-8.
       This fixes an issue with Lintian in backports when only
       locales-all is installed.  Thanks to Peter Palfrader for the
       report.  (Closes: #663459)
 .
   * private/runtests:
     + [NT] Support using en_US.UTF-8 from locales-all, when that is
       available.  This allows locales-all to be used as a substitute
       for locales when compiling Lintian on Squeeze.
 .
   * reporting/harness:
     + [NT] Corrected inverted logic when checking for dry-run.
