      thanks to Tom Jones for the patch
    - Inherit PATH by default:

      + debian/cron.service: Pass -P to cron
  * Dropped changes:

cron (3.0pl1-189) unstable; urgency=medium

  * rewritten the man pages in docbook XML format, so their typography

  * trying to fix tests/sanity-checks

cron (3.0pl1-187) unstable; urgency=medium

  * fixed the bug number in debian/tests/sanity-checks
  * using check_error() to report errors with MAILTO or MAILFROM
  * added support for unquoted empty environment strings. Closes: #773602

cron (3.0pl1-186) unstable; urgency=medium

  * modified the attribution of patch Wrap-long-lines.patch, it was
    authored by Frank Heckenbach <email address hidden>, while
    Harald Dunkel reported the bug fixed by Frank Heckenbach's patch
  * reorganized the source about function safe_p, so it can be used
    in the file crontab.c, and let emit a warning when variables
    MAITO or MAILFROM are defined "unsafely". Closes: #1061155

cron (3.0pl1-185) unstable; urgency=medium

  * added bat as Suggests: and modified the manpage crontab.1 to
    provide an example of colorization using the command batcat

Binary packages built by this source

cron: process scheduling daemon

 The cron daemon is a background process that runs particular programs at
 particular times (for example, every minute, day, week, or month), as
 specified in a crontab. By default, users may also create crontabs of
 their own so that processes are run on their behalf.
 .
 Output from the commands is usually mailed to the system administrator
 (or to the user in question); you should probably install a mail system
 as well so that you can receive these messages.
 .
 This cron package does not provide any system maintenance tasks. Basic
 periodic maintenance tasks are provided by other packages, such
 as checksecurity.

cron-daemon-common: process scheduling daemon's configuration files

 The cron daemon is a background process that runs particular programs at
 particular times (for example, every minute, day, week, or month), as
 specified in a crontab. By default, users may also create crontabs of
 their own so that processes are run on their behalf.
 .
 This package provides configuration files which must be there to
 define scheduled process sets.
