    Tags: patch upstream

    Dear Debian QA team,

    As the upstream author of bbe, I would like to report that
upstream development
    has moved from SourceForge to GitHub:
https://github.com/TimoSavi/bbe

    We have just released version 0.2.3, which includes:
    - Critical memory safety and buffer overflow fixes
    - SIMD/vector-accelerated pattern matching (memchr/memcmp)
    - Modernized GNU Autotools build configuration (C99, silent rules,
foreign mode)
    - Automated regression test suite (make check)
    - Updated documentation and sed-style binary stream samples

    Attached is a patch updating debian/watch to format 4 (tracking
GitHub tags),
    debian/copyright (source URL and copyright years), debian/control
(Homepage),
    and debian/upstream/metadata.

    Thank you,
    Timo Savinen <tjsa@iki.fi>
