5.6.18. Changes

This multiline field contains the human-readable changes data, describing the differences between the last version and the current one.

The first line of the field value (the part on the same line as Changes:) is always empty. The content of the field is expressed as continuation lines, with each line indented by at least one space. Blank lines must be represented by a line consisting only of a space and a full stop (.).

The value of this field is usually extracted from the debian/changelog file - see Debian changelog: debian/changelog.

Each version’s change information should be preceded by a “title” line giving at least the version, distribution(s) and urgency, in a human-readable way.

If data from several versions is being returned the entry for the most recent version should be returned first, and entries should be separated by the representation of a blank line (the “title” line may also be followed by the representation of a blank line).
