+osc (0.99-8) unstable; urgency=high
+
+  - update to r3598:
+    New features:
+    - new link handling:
+      add support for handling linked packages in expanded form. They
+      can be checked out, updated (expanding or unexpanding them),
+      and built locally.
+      Missing: commit support.
+      Newly introduced options are:
+      * osc checkout: --expand-link
+      * osc update: --expand-link and --unexpand-link
+    - osc build: add --debuginfo switch (Thanks, Juergen!) [#368524]
+    - osc req: add option -a / --add-header to inject arbitrary
+      request headers
+    - osc addremove (and others): ignore _all_ dot files (the
+      buildservice doesn't handle them) [#370476]
+    - copypac: do a server-side copy (via a single api call) when
+      used with -s / --server-side.
+    - prjresults: csv export uses ';' as default (Pavol)
+    - osc update/checkout: enable to use md5sum as revision id
+    - osc info: make it show info about expanded and non-expanded links
+    - osc submitreq:
+      - implement an 'accept' action, resulting in the respective
+        state change
+      - when requesting a submit, save the source package's revision
+        id (looking up what it currently is)
+      - give the user a way to override it, to submit an older
+        revision
+      - when using show --diff, take the actual old revision into
+        account. Thus, the diff is against the source revision of the
+        time of request creation.
+    Bug fixes:
+    - osc mkpac only works when 'do_package_tracking' is enabled
+    - do_repos() should work in a project dir too
+    - handle mmap failure on filesystems like NTFS, which may not
+      support memory mapping when mounted under Linux
+    - submitreq show: if the target package doesn't exist, a diff
+      cannot be produced.
+    - fixed username issues when creating a new package (the problem was
+      that the username for the default host was used and not the one for
+      that specific apiurl)
+    Internal changes:
+    - enhance osc.core.makeurl(). This function accepts a query
+      parameter in form of a list. The query can now also be given as a
+      dictionary, and in that case it will be automatically urlencoded.
+      The behaviour for a list is unchanged for the reason of backward
+      compatibility.
+    - add Linkinfo class to osc.core
+    - Package class:
+      - add linkinfo when reading in package data via update_datastructs()
+      - add islink() and isexpanded() methods
+    - added 3 new methods:
+      * createPackageDir(): creates and initializes a new package dir in
+        the given project.
+      * get_apiurl_usr(): returns the username for a certain apiurl
+      * get_configParser(): returns an ConfigParser() object which can be
+        used for parsing the ~/.oscrc file
+    - new show_upstream_xsrcmd5() method which returns the xsrcmd5 (if a
+      linkinfo element exists)
+    - all necessary auth-information are available in the 'auth_dict'
+      (so there's no need to fool around with the ConfigParser...)
+    - if there are no credentials for the apisrv in use (which may be
+      specified with -A on the commandline), don't try to set up
+      config['user'] with credentials.
