    debian-games (1.6) unstable; urgency=medium
    
      * New recommendations:
        - toys: bucklespring
        - board: gnudoq
      * Move csmash from arcade to simulation.
      * Add auto-generated games-all metapackage.
      * Add gearhead2-sdl and mednafen to blacklist because we already recommend
        another flavor of them.
      * Run make dist.
    
    debian-games (1.5) unstable; urgency=medium
    
      * Switch to compat level 10.
      * New recommendations:
        - puzzle: cavepacker.
        - rpg: ember.
        - console: nudoku.
        - finest,platform: caveexpress.
        - sport: bygfoot.
      * New suggestions:

      * Removed packages: (removed from Debian or other issues)
        - finest,finest-light,platform: smc.
        - programming, strategy: gnurobots.
        - arcade: icebreaker.
        - content-dev: krita.
      * finest, finest-light: Remove aisleriot.
        Two recommended card (solitaire) games are sufficient.
      * emulator: Replace mednafen with mednaffe.
      * finest: Replace angband with nethack-console. Nethack is better maintained
        and more popular.
      * c++-dev: Replace libphobos-4.9-dev with libphobos-dev.
      * java-dev: Recommend netbeans instead of eclipse.
      * copyright: Change contact address to Debian Games Team.
      * Update the blacklist.
        Minetest mods, data packages and libretro are not standalone games.
      * Add gnome-2048 to blacklist because it is GNOME specific.
      * emulator: Remove transitional mess package.
      * Update README.source and note that the auto-generated games-all package
        has to be removed until a config option for blends-dev exists.
    
    debian-games (1.4) unstable; urgency=medium
    
      * New recommendations:
        - python2-dev: python-pygame-sdl2.
        - console: colossal-cave-adventure.
        - arcade: vor.
        - emulator: mgba-sdl, osmose-emulator, retroarch, mame and mess.
        - adventure: Suggest scummvm-tools.
      * Removed packages: (removed from Debian or other issues)
        - board,chess: yics.
        - chess: glchess.
        - card: jpoker.
      * Declare compliance with Debian Policy 3.9.8.
      * README.source: Explain how to change recommendations.
      * Update src/blacklist. Add werewolf because it is only a game engine.
      * finest, finest-light: Replace xboard with dreamchess.
        xboard is an excellent chess variant but I feel that dreamchess is better
        suited for casual gamers who might prefer more eye-candy.
      * finest, finest-light: Replace angrydd with blockattack.
        Blockattack is another tetris-like game. I think it is better suited for
        finest and finest-light because it also supports two-player games and it is
        actively developed. It will most likely support SDL2 soon.
      * Make games-finest available in Debian's installer by setting Install: true
        in tasks/finest.
        Thanks to Ole Streicher for the report. (Closes: #825182)

        - platform: asylum.
        - finest, strategy: ufoai.
        - adventure: Depend on renpy-thequestion instead of renpy.
        - adventure: zoom-player.
        - arcade: Switch from heroes-sdl to heroes.
        - platform: edgar.
        - strategy: endless-sky.
      * Removed packages: (removed from Debian or other issues)
        - finest, finest-light: triplea because it depends on obsolete
          commons-httpclient library.
        - finest, finest-light: boswars, since it has some flaws and upstream
          development is slow.
        - rpg: balazar.
        - arcade: balazarbrother.
        - strategy: freecraft.
        - programming, strategy: realtimebattle.

      * Vcs-Browser: Use https.
      * Improve package description of games-console to ensure that text console
        games are not confused with requiring a video game console for playing.
        Thanks to Takahide Nojima for the report. (Closes: #793573)
      * New recommendations:
        - emulator: cen64, gngb, dolphin-emu, mupen64plus-ui-console
        - toys: bambam and bb
        - education: granule
        - arcade: mrrescue and wizznic
        - python2-dev: python-renpy
        - fps: rbdoom3bfg
        - chess: shogivar, sjaakii and uci2wb

      * simulation: Suggest bsdgames instead of recommending them.
      * Depend on freeciv metapackage instead of freeciv-client-gtk.
      * Add python helper scripts to source package.
        Those helper scripts are useful for getting a quick overview about
        - what games (binary packages) do exist in Debian?
        - what games are already listed in our task files?
        - what games are new?
      * Add README.Debian file.
    
    debian-games (1) unstable; urgency=medium
    
      * Update debian/control and synchronize metapackages with current available
        packages in testing.
      * c++-dev:
        - Recommend libopenscenegraph-dev.
        - Replace libjpeg8-dev with libjpeg-dev.
        - Drop crystalspace and libcrystalspace-dev because they are
          RC buggy.
      * chess:
        - Recommend chessx.
      * card:
        - Only suggest jpoker because it depends on apache2 which is an undesired
          dependency.
