Hi,

The Lintian maintainers are pleased to announce the release of Lintian
2.78.0.

Lintian dissects Debian packages and reports bugs and policy
violations. It contains automated checks for many aspects of Debian
policy as well as some checks for common errors.

This version includes the following changes:

   * Summary of tag changes:
     + Added:
       - maintainer
       - uploader
     + Renamed/split:
       - changed-by-address-looks-weird & changed-by-address-missing ->
         malformed-changed-by-field
       - maintainer-address-looks-weird & maintainer-address-missing ->
         malformed-maintainer-field
       - uploader-address-looks-weird -> malformed-uploaders-field

   [ Felix Lechner ]
   * Use settings from configuration files when they were previously
     undefined. (Closes: #961802)
   * Accept some environmental variables as valid keys in the configuration
     file. (Closes: #961800)
   * Use Email::Address::XS to parse fields for Maintainer, Uploaders etc.
   * Consider renamed tags when ignoring unknown tags obtained from
     ftpmaster.
