   * Summary of tag changes:
     + Added:
       - development-package-ships-elf-binary-in-path
       - excessive-priority-for-library-package
       - multiarch-foreign-cmake-file
       - multiarch-foreign-pkgconfig
       - multiarch-foreign-static-library
       - package-contains-compiled-font-file
       - package-contains-compiled-glib-schema
 .
   * checks/binaries.{pm,desc}:
     + [CL] Add an experimental check for development packages that ship
       ELF binaries in $PATH. Host architecture binaries are generally not
       executable so such files are useless for cross builds.
       (Closes: #794295)
   * checks/cruft.desc:
     + [CL] Add debian/changelog to the file-contains-trailing-whitespace
       example to make it even easier to copy-paste.
   * checks/fields.{pm,desc}:
     + [CL] Warn about library packages with excessive priority. Thanks to
       Josh Triplett for the report.  (Closes: #834290)
   * checks/files.{pm,desc}:
     + [CL] Warn about Multi-Arch: foreign packages that ship CMake,
       pkg-config or static libraries in public, architecture-dependent
       search paths. Thanks to Helmut Grohne for the initial patch and
       report.  (Closes: #882684)
     + [CL] Raise the certainty of multiarch-foreign-shared-library from
       "wild guess" to "possible" on the suggestion of Helmut Grohne.
     + [CL] Test for packages shipping "gschemas.compiled" files. Thanks
       to Andreas Beckmann for the idea.  (Closes: #884142)
     + [CL] Warn if a package ships compiled font files. Thank you to
       Andreas Beckmann for the report.  (Closes: #884165)
   * checks/python.pm:
     + [CL] Also check for packages installing modules called "site" or
       "docs" into the global namespace.  (Closes: #769365)
   * checks/scripts.desc:
     + [CL] Update description of python-script-but-no-python-dep to refer
       to ${python3:Depends}. Thanks to Mattia Rizzolo.  (Closes: #660718)
     + [CL] Prevent a false-positive in missing-dep-for-interpreter by
       matching ABI-versioned virtual packages for Erlang. Thanks to
       Jean Parpaillon for the report.  (Closes: #810204)
   * checks/source-copyright.desc:
     + [CL] Update description of source-includes-file-in-files-excluded
       to clarify the potential problem and to reference the relevant
       wishlist bug against git-buildpackage.
   * checks/python.pm:
     + [CL] Clarify that new-package-should-not-package-python2-module
       triggers when there is a single changelog entry as well as providing
       general guidance where upstreams have not ported to Python 3 yet.
 .
   * commands/lintian.pm:
     + [CL] Correct parsing of "jobs=42" in lintianrc. If specified, it
       would be coerced to a boolean resulting in a value of 1.
     + [CL] Allow the tag display limit to be configured via the
       "--tag-display-limit" command-line argument or "tag-display-limit"
       in lintianrc.  (Closes: #813525)
     + [CL] Make -v imply --no-tag-display-limit.  (Closes: #812756)
 .
   * data/files/privacy-breaker-fragments:
     + [CL] Don't match, for example, "FB.login()" when used as a
       documentation example.  (Closes: #884296)
   * data/spelling/corrections:
     + [PW] Add a number of corrections.
 .
   * doc/lintianrc.example:
     + [CL] Add missing "jobs" entry.
 .
   * profiles/pureos/main.profile:
     + [CL] Add a profile for Purism's PureOS.  (Closes: #884408)
 .
   * reporting/images/*.png:
     + [CL] Apply patch from Ville Skyttä that runs the .PNG files through
       the "zopflipng" minimiser tool to save space.  (Closes: #884559)
 .
   * reporting/templates/maintainer.tmpl:
     + [CL] Add links from each maintainer page (which does not include
       pedantic tags, etc.) to the corresponding package on the full report,
       Thanks to Paul Wise for the idea and report.  (Closes: #884572)
 .
   * vendors/pureos/main/data/changes-file/known-dists:
     + [CL] Add data file for PureOS.
