cron (3.0pl1-160) unstable; urgency=medium
* disregard /etc/cron.yearly in debian/tests/compare-with-old-cron-files
* defined a "-n" switch for crontab, which means "dry run". This allows
one to call `crontab -n foo` which will check the file foo for its
syntax and report something, without writing any crontab.

information and quit. Closes: #946383, thanks to 積丹尼 Dan Jacobson

cron (3.0pl1-149) unstable; urgency=medium
* manage characters \r and \b in a special way, since one could use
them to obfuscate a crontab. This patch closes: #585552.
Now one can insert characters \r and \b into a crontab's shell command,
`crontab -l` will show those characters in escaped format; so the
obfuscation is more difficult to create.
* introduced the debian patch d/patches/features/protect-list.patch and
the test d/tests/check-listings-protection to create the feature and
check that it works as expected

* merged Jorge Gualtieri's pull request, so this test is working.
* added a text utility to display text surrounded by a frame
* grouped the two tests which are waiting for a crontab job in the
same file, so there is one single delay
* modified dependencies for the tests

by many lines (closes: #983817)

added a condition in debian/cron-daemon-common.postrm: systemd-cron
must not be installed, to let it remove /etc/cron.allow and
/etc/cron.deny (closes: #773095)

cron (3.0pl1-143) unstable; urgency=medium

configuration, since apt-utils is not installed" to stderr.

cron (3.0pl1-141) experimental; urgency=medium
* removed the patch fixes/Validate-MAILTO-input.patch, and
refreshed other patches to fit the change. All the additions made
by the file fixes/Validate-MAILTO-input.patch were undone by the
other patch features/Add-MAILFROM-environment-variable.patch, making
it completely useless. Taken in account the environment variable
MAILFROM again, in the patch
features/Add-MAILFROM-environment-variable.patch
* tests added:
- correctness of the header added to new crontabs (checks the patch
features/Add-helpful-header-to-new-crontab.patch) in file
d/tests/check_significant_header
- debian/tests/check_mailfrom_mailto to check the patch
features/Add-MAILFROM-environment-variable.patch
-- Georges Khaznadar <georgesk@debian.org> Thu, 02 Jun 2022 19:08:39 +0200
cron (3.0pl1-140) experimental; urgency=medium
* Created an additional binary package: cron-daemon-common; the new
package is there to separate the installation of /etc/crontab and
/etc/cron.* stuff, thus making easier to choose between cron and
cronie packages, both providing (hopefully) the same features.
* Added a few tests for autopkgtest. So far, tested features are:
- installing the new packages "cron-daemon-common" and "cron"
provide identical contents under /etc/cron.*, then installing
the "cron" package from debian/bullseye.
- when "cron-daemon-common" and "cron" are installed the only
differences in files /etc/crontab are brackets instead of
parentheses (which prevent launching a subshell)

(https://salsa.debian.org/debian/cron/-/merge_requests/2/diffs)

- bumped Standards-Version: 4.6.0, debhelper-compat (= 13)
- erased debian/cron.prerm, which contained nothing useful.

so line 18 has the same syntax as following lines of the same file.
Closes: #930765
* added the command `dpkg-statoverride --remove /usr/bin/crontab`, to
be called when the package is purged. Closes: #984586
