jed-common (1:0.99.19~pre89-1) experimental; urgency=medium

    The require function was dropped from site.sl and replaced by the require
    function in the package slsh. This function has a different argument list.
    The second (optional) argument accepted by the old jed version is the
    namespace for the file not the file name.

jed-common (0.99.18+dfsg.1-1) unstable; urgency=low

    The handling of "~" in path names changed between version 0.99.16 of
    JED (the version in sarge) and 0.99.18.  This is an intended feature.
    According to the upstream author, John E. Davis: "evalfile is slang's
    lowest level file loading function, and as such it should not tamper
    with the name passed to it. For example, under Unix ~ is a perfectly
    valid directory name and it should be possible to load a file in that
    directory.  For filename expansion, use the expand_filename function.
    While not as convenient, [one] can also use evalfile("$HOME/foo.sl"$);"

jed-common (0.99.18-8) unstable; urgency=low

    Since release 0.99.17.135-1 of the package, the JED run-time
    configuration files are put in /etc/jed.d/ instead of
    /etc/jed-init.d/.  Due to a bug in dpkg (#108587) the config files
    00site.sl, 00debian.sl and 99defaults.sl as well as /etc/jed.conf are
    not removed after an upgrade to 0.99.15-1 or higher.

    A debconf question has been added to the jed-common package to inform
    the user if modified files are kept in /etc/jed-init.d/. However, the
    script that was responsible for deleting the files was defective and
    there may be cases where the files are still in the system but shouldn't
    be. (The debconf question can be revisited by running "dpkg-reconfigure
    jed-common".)

    The directory /etc/jed-init.d/ is no longer needed and should be removed
    after transferring eventual customizations to /etc/jed.d/.

    Important changes in the start-up scheme have been introduced in this
    version. Users upgrading from sarge should read the file
