+libdate-manip-perl (6.04-1) unstable; urgency=low
+
+  Some rather significant changes have taken place between 5.xx and
+  the new version 6 series of Date::Manip. While the upstream author
+  has attempted to maintain backward compatibility, some changes may
+  break your software.
+
+  * Broken into smaller modules
+    Rather than a large monolithic module, this module's parts can
+    be used where appropriate
+
+  * Intermediate data cached
+    To improve performance, the module caches some data internally.
+    If you try to memoize this data yourself, you'll end up using
+    much more memory than necessary.
+
+  * Taint safety
+    The modules are now taint safe internally, but obviously you
+    must still untaint data that you feed the module yourself.
+
+  * Changed behaviour for recurrences
+    Parsing recurrences specified in English has been removed in
+    ambiguous cases. Statements like "every 2nd Tuesday" result
+    in different day numbers based on the year, for example.
+
+  For full details of all the changes that have happened, please
+  see the included Date::Manip::Changes5to6. While the upstream
+  author believes the issues will likely not have any impact, it
+  is important to understand the changes and provided workarounds.
