+smokeping (2.6.5-1~experimental0) experimental; urgency=low
+
+  Instead of bundling our own configuration which constantly had to be
+  maintained in sync with upstream, we ship modified versions of the
+  upstream configuration files, which are now automatically split in
+  separate sections during build. This will lead to false positive in
+  configuration file changes, but just this one time, as we transition
+  away from ucf for config file management.
+  .
+  If you are upgrading from versions previous to 2.3.6-5 (in Lenny!), you
+  may have problems migrating your configuration. Make sure you at least
+  hit 2.3.6 packages to have a smooth upgrade as some compatibility bits
+  have been removed.

+smokeping (2.3.6-4) unstable; urgency=low
+
+  The file hierarchy available to the web server has been moved
+  away from /var/www, which was a non-standard location. The recommended 
+  way to set up the web part of Smokeping is to use the Apache2 configuration
+  supplied in /etc/smokeping/apache2.conf. This is done automatically
+  on new installations, see the README.Debian file.
+  .
+  Although the upgrade procedure tries to keep old setups working
+  with symlinks, make sure to merge the pathname changes in
+  /etc/smokeping/config.d/pathnames. Deleting /var/www/smokeping
+  afterwards should be safe if you have no manually added content there.
+  .
+  The recommended URL path to the CGI script is now /smokeping/smokeping.cgi
+  rather than /cgi-bin/smokeping.cgi. The latter should still work 
+  through a symlink.
+  .
+  .
+  The default character set in /etc/smokeping/config.d/Presentation has
+  been changed to UTF-8. If you were relying on the former ISO-8859-15
+  setting, just edit the file to reflect this.

+smokeping (2.3.5-1) experimental; urgency=low
+
+  The configuration file, /etc/smokeping/config, has been split into
+  subsection snippets in /etc/smokeping/config.d to ease merging of
+  configuration changes. The installation scripts will automatically 
+  split the old configuration on upgrades, but the split won't take
+  effect unless ucf is allowed to overwrite /etc/smokeping/config.
+  .
+  This version also includes packaging changes to make the new
+  master/slave functionality work. A new directory, /var/lib/smokeping/__cgi,
+  has been created so that the CGI on a master host can queue up
+  ping results received from its slaves. The main Smokeping daemon
+  will then monitor the queue and update the RRD files accordingly.
+  .
+  Make sure to merge the new 'dyndir' and 'precreateperms' General section
+  variables on upgrades, otherwise the master/slave functionality (and
+  most probably also the old DYNAMIC host functionality) will not work.

+smokeping (2.0.8-3) unstable; urgency=low
+
+  When upgrading from Smokeping versions 1.x to 2.x, you may have to edit
+  the configuration file /etc/smokeping/config. The most common incompatibility
+  is that the 'PROBE_CONF' lines are neither needed nor accepted anymore. Simply
+  deleting these lines is sufficient.
+ 
+  There are some other small incompatibilities; a list of those can be found
+  in the smokeping_upgrade(7) document. As the Smokeping configuration file
+  parser is now much more strict than in 1.x, the daemon complains about
+  these at startup and refuses to start.
+
+  (This entry applies to all Smokeping 2.x versions, but was only added in
+  version 2.0.8-3.)
