Debian changelog in Git:

basex (12.4+ds-1) unstable; urgency=medium

  * New upstream release 12.4.
  * d/watch: Repack the upstream tarball with a +ds suffix (Repack,
    Repacksuffix) to advertise the Files-Excluded source removal;
    Dversionmangle=auto.
  * d/control: Bump Standards-Version to 4.7.4 (no changes needed).
  * d/control: Add build dependencies for libraries that basex-core now
    imports directly at compile time (upstream switched several classes from
    reflective loading to direct imports): libtagsoup-java,
    libhtml5parser-java, libjline2-java, libicu4j-java and junit5.
  * d/control: Move libjing-java from Suggests to Recommends so RELAX NG
    validation (validate:rng) works out of the box; it ships the jing.jar the
    wrapper scripts probe for.
  * d/control: Tidy runtime dependencies - require a Java 17 runtime
    (default-jre (>= 2:1.17~) | java17-runtime) to match
    maven.compiler.release=17; correct libjansi1.jar to the real package name
    libjansi-java; and drop libjline2-java from Recommends and libtagsoup-java
    from Suggests, as both are already pulled in via ${maven:OptionalDepends}.
  * d/maven.properties: Set maven.compiler.release to 17 (was 11).
  * d/maven.rules: Map nu.validator:htmlparser onto Debian's
    nu.validator.htmlparser:htmlparser (libhtml5parser-java); map jline:jline
    to 2.x; drop obsolete basex 7.x and Jetty rules.
  * d/maven.ignoreRules: Ignore de.bottlecaps:markup-blitz (not in Debian) and
    the Maven deploy/release tooling (wagon-ssh-external,
    central-publishing-maven-plugin, maven-gpg-plugin, maven-release-plugin).
  * d/patches: Add disable-invisible-xml.patch, disabling fn:invisible-xml
    because its Markup Blitz backend (de.bottlecaps:markup-blitz) is not
    packaged in Debian.
  * d/copyright: Drop obsolete Dockerfile exclusion (removed upstream); refresh
    copyright year.
  * d/tests: Add smoke and examples autopkgtests; the latter asserts the
    manual's EXAMPLES still work, guarding them against drift.
  * d/man: Refresh manpages for 12.4 - correct the SYNOPSIS option lists and
    the EXAMPLES for current command syntax (use repeated -c rather than
    ";"-separated commands, put -o before -q, and use "SET PARSER html" /
    fetch:doc for HTML parsing); update the standalone example version; fix
    the basexserver name typo; add a UTF-8 coding declaration so "Grün"
    renders correctly. Drop the vestigial sed (and stray basex.1e) from
    make_man.sh.
  * d/man: Update documentation URLs - docs.basex.org/wiki/* moved to /main/
    (with lowercased anchors); replace the dead files.basex.org example URL and
    the removed Startup_Options link; refresh the verbose (-V) output example;
    rename a duplicate OPTIONS heading to STARTUP in basexclient(1).
  * d/NEWS: Add an upgrade note for the 10.5 -> 12.4 jump: databases stay
    usable (on-disk format unchanged since BaseX 9), and flag the changes
    that may need attention (Java 17; basexserver's generated admin
    password; fn:invisible-xml disabled in Debian; the BaseX 11.0 removal of
    the Hashing Module and other functions/operators; XINCLUDE/CSV/JSON
    option changes; command-line binding and separator changes).
  * d/salsa-ci.yml: Add the Salsa CI pipeline (standard debian.yml recipe).
