lintian 2.92.0 released

["Chris Lamb" <lamby@debian.org>]

Hi,

The Lintian maintainers are pleased to announce the release of Lintian
version 2.92.0.

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:

  [ Felix Lechner ]
  * Drop obsolete output formats ColonSeparated, FullEWI, LetterQualifier
    and XML.
  * Provide a Perl-native implementation to index and extract tar files in
    parallel. (Closes: #968611)
  * Reduce visibility level of redundant-globbing-patterns to pedantic.
    (Closes: #967961)
  * Reset file_info for TeX Font Metric files incorrectly categorized as gzip.
    (Closes: #963589)
  * Replace python2 with python3 in debian/tests/control. (Closes: #936952)
  * Split bin/lintian-info into separate annotate-lintian-hints and
    explain-lintian-tags.
  * Drop Lintian version from tag URLs offered in "standalone" HTML mode.
  * Use Text::Glob to match globbing patterns to file names in
    debian/copyright.
  * Remove IO::Async from Depends in debian/control and move to
    debian/tests/control.
.
  * Update tag description files:
    - Rename file extensions from *.desc to *.tag.
    - For friendlier field names, rename Info: to Explanation: and Ref: to
      See-Also:
    - Use Text::Markdown::Discount to facilitate Markdown content.
    - Also decode HTML5 entities in plain output; add
      libhtml-html5-entities-perl to debian/control.
    - Replace underscores with the _ HTML5 entity.
.
  [ Chris Lamb ]
  * Don't emit patch-not-forwarded-upstream for README files under
    debian/patches. (Closes: #968845)
  * Update private/generate-tag-summary to reflect change of tag definition
    filename extension change from .desc → .tag.
.
  [ Dmitry Shachnev ]
  * Refresh data/files/fonts using refresh-fonts-data script.

This version available now in Debian unstable and will be backported
to buster-backports once it has migrated to bullseye.
