+smartmontools (7.0-1) unstable; urgency=medium
+
+ This release re-introduces "update-smart-drivedb" utility that now uses
+ GPG to validate downloaded file.

+smartmontools (6.4+svn4214-1) unstable; urgency=medium
+
+ Previous versions of the smartmontools package included a tool
+ update-smart-drivedb which downloaded updated drive definitions
+ from the smartmontools website and stored them at
+
+ /var/lib/smartmontools/drivedb/drivedb.h
+
+ This tool did not download the definitions in a secure manner and
+ so the feature has been removed in this version. Future drive DB
+ updates will be propagated via normal Debian package updates,
+ including backports.
+
+ If you already have a drivedb.h file at that location, smartctl
+ will continue to use it.

+smartmontools (5.37-1) unstable; urgency=low
