Changelog
gnu-apl (1.8-1) unstable; urgency=medium
 .
   * Package upstream release 1.8 (closes: #949948)
   * Upstream had debian/* for 1.1. Completely overwriting, but some
     of that was used as a basis here; changes below.
   * Debhelper compat 13, Standards-Version 4.7.4, DEP-5 copyright.
   * Add libapl-dev binary package for the embeddable APL library.
     - using out-of-tree build
     - patches to enable out-of-tree build
     - GCC-15 patch
   * Build with libfftw3, libxcb, libgtk-3, libpcre2, libsqlite3 support.
   * Fiddle with debian/rules and patch #includes so broken upstream
     src/makefile.h does not break the build.
