  * WWW::Shorten::Debli: use https for deb.li URLs.
    Thanks to pabs for the pointer.

  [ Damyan Ivanov ]
  * use the interpreter running the test to run the test client
    otherwise the system-wide perl is used, which may be configured
    (e.g. @INC) quite differently
    Thanks to Slaven Rezić (RT#108400)
  * fix comparison of Git version to 2.9.0, when the minor version is greater t»
    "2.15.0" ge "2.9.0" returns false, because it uses string comparison
    and "1" is less than "9".
  * bot: preliminary support for GitLab webhook termination at /webhook/
  * bot: let --debug override the config setting
  * bump copyright years
 * TestBot: die if the bot exits with non-zero status
  * bot:
    + add support for GitLab webhook termination at /webhook/
    + add systemd .service file
    + irc_new_hash: make new entries enter at the top of the list
    + stop sending /WHO when somebody joins
    + debug: prepend the line number
    + fix disabling of colors on use_color=0
  * Painter: fix 'item_colors' member name mistake
  * kgb-ci-report
    + POD: wrap links in L<>, use https
    + use https for ci.debian.net
    + use udd-mirror.debian.net for connecting to UDD
    + allow running without --kgb-config
  * tests: allow overriding of bot/client location

1.34 (2016-09-26)
  [ Damyan Ivanov ]
  * add patch fixing tests in build environments where the current user has no
    full name (Closes: #769239 -- FTBFS)

  [ gregor herrmann ]
  * kgb-client.conf(5): change example shortening service from Metamark to
    TinyURL, following the example of WWW::Shorten. Metamark is not
    accepting new URLs anymore.

  [ Damyan Ivanov ]
  * also mention cgit in the web-link description
  * add a new script, kgb-ci-report. used to notify about CI failures
  * bump years of copyright

  [ Pierre Schweitzer ]
  * kgb-client: use login name when the full user name is not available
    Closes: #772747
  * Remove ${{project/}} token from the example multi-line message
    configuration (already removed from the single-line configuration)
    Closes: #772749
  * Fix multiline message template
    Closes: #772750

  [ Damyan Ivanov ]
  * TestBot:
    - when waiting for the PID file to appear, also see if it has any content
    - close the PID file after reading it
  * kgb-bot:
    - add the PID to the "Listening on ..." line in the log
    - rewrite the PID management code using OO interface of Proc::PID::File.
      This fixes a rather nasty hardly-reproducible bug causing the PID file
      to be re-created after being removed, which may fool the tests and make
      them hang.
      Closes: #782079

  [ gregor herrmann ]
  * Build.PL:
    - install new kgb-ci-report script
    - add DBD::Pg as requirement in Build.PL
  * Fix some typos in the POD. Thanks to lintian.

  [ Martín Ferrari ]
  * App::KGB::Client::ServerRef:
    - More consistent verbose reporting of server communication.
    - Add --dry-run option for debugging.
    - Bug fix: use correct method when sending a commit info with
      default protocol.
  * App::KGB::Client: format_message: Don't lose data.
    When the commit object does not have all the info, it still overwrites
    data coming from the extra arguments. It meant SVN commits were lacking
    branch and module information completely.

  [ gregor herrmann ]
  * Fix t/52-client-git.t to work with newer git versions as well.
    Since 2.9.0, git allows merging branches without a common ancestors only
    when "--allow-unrelated-histories" is passed. This has lead to test
    failures.
    Pass the parameter conditionally.


1.33 (2014-08-06)
