+
+  [ Amaa ]
+  * Add the missing header guards: Revised the header guards and added
+    the missing ones.
+  * Remove the config.h.in generated file from the repo: Removed the
+    config.h.in file which is (always) generated by the autogen during
+    the build configuration process.
+  * Update the obsolete actions in the GitHub workflows: Updated
+    actions/checkout to version 7.
+  * Remove leftover libept statements: Removed the orphaned LIBEPT_CFLAGS
+    references from the makefile templates.
+  * Add the missing config.h inclusions: Revised the inclusion of
+    config.h so that it is the first one included in the source files and
+    added the missing inclusions.
+  * Fix project headers included with #include<>: Replaced the #include<>
+    with #include"" for the affected files. This fixes those headers
+    getting searched for in the incorrect paths, and, on specific
+    scenarios, confusing the IDEs and code analysis tools.
+  * Fix project headers included with #include<>: Moved the header
+    inclusions to the correct location.
+  * Revise the i18n.h inclusions: Added the missing include directives
+    and removed the unnecessary ones.
+  * Revise the GTK_DISABLE_DEPRECATED project configuration: Added
+    GDK_DISABLE_DEPRECATED, GDK_PIXBUF_DISABLE_DEPRECATED and
+    G_DISABLE_DEPRECATED to the disable deprecation options. Changed the
+    configuration argument from --with-gtk-disable-deprecated to
+    --enable-gtk-deprecated (i.e. deprecated functionality is now
+    disabled by default).
+  * Remove the empty gsynaptic.h file: Removed the gsynaptic.h file and
+    all references to it.
+  * Revise the include paths in the makefiles: Added the include path to
+    the generated config.h and normalized the include paths to the
+    project headers. Normalized the definition of PACKAGE_DATA_DIR,
+    PACKAGE_LOCALE_DIR and SYNAPTICSTATEDIR. Deleted the unused
+    definition of synapticlocaledir. Added a check for apt-pkg to
+    configure.ac and added the respective CFLAGS and LIBS to the
+    makefiles. Normalized the CFLAGS and the LIBS among the makefiles.
+  * Remove redundant -lapt-pkg from the makefiles: Removed the -lapt-pkg
+    parameter (the related libraries are now injected by APT_PKG_LIBS).
+  * Remove the obsolete pkgAcqFile workaround implementation: Removed the
+    workaround implementation of pkgAcqFile used with APT_PKG versions
+    older than 5.
+  * Remove the orphaned rswig.cc, rswig.h, rpackagemanager.h and
+    rdependency.h files: Removed those unused files.
+  * Remove using namespace from the header files: Moved the 'using
+    namespace std' statements out of the header files.
+  * Add an option to put the application path definitions in the config.h
+    (with default values): Added the --enable-ide-integration autogen
+    option to enable putting the application path definitions (with
+    default values) in the config.h file. This is useful for cases where
+    the development tools fail due to those symbols not being defined.
+  * Remove the obsolete STDC_HEADERS statements from configure.ac:
+    Removed the obsolete AC_HEADER_STDC statements.
+  * Fix the deprecated std::binary_function in the implementation of the
+    std::sort custom comparator: Replaced the implementation with one
+    based on std::function.
+  * Set the gtk-disable-deprecated defines by default: Changed the
+    configuration so that the GTK deprecated functionality is disabled by
+    default.
+  * Revise the RPackage::installedFiles() implementation: Changed the
+    implementation to return std::string instead of relying on a static
+    variable for storage lifetime. Avoided calling FileExists() twice in
+    case the file was already found. Added returning an informative
+    message in case the list can't be retrieved. Added skipping the
+    insertion of empty lines instead of relying on a single empty line
+    always being read from the input file. Removed the unused HAVE_RPM
+    variant of RPackage::installedFiles().
+  * Replace the deprecated GdkColor: Replaced GdkColor with GdkRGBA.
+    Moved the initialization of _gray to the declaration and declared it
+    const.
+  * Fix "object backing the pointer will be destroyed at the end of the
+    full-expression": Fixed the access to the object's data outside its
+    lifetime.
+  * Fix "object backing the pointer will be destroyed at the end of the
+    full-expression": Fixed the access to the object's data outside its
+    lifetime.
+  * Fix the "enumeration values 'ButtonsDefault' and 'ButtonsOk' not
+    handled in switch": Added the explicit default to the switch
+    statement.
+  * Fix "unused local variable": Removed the unused (duplicate)
+    variables. Adjusted the variable names to lower case and moved the
+    local string variable into the loop.
+  * Revise the #include statements: Added missing #include statements and
+    removed the not used. Grouped the #include statements and removed
+    duplicates. Fixed the circular/recursive inclusion cases.
+  * Fix ruserdialog.h included as system header: Corrected
+    <ruserdialog.h> to "ruserdialog.h".
+  * Fix "unused local variable": Removed the unused variables.
+  * Fix "unused local variable": Removed the unused variables.
+  * Fix "unused local variable": Removed the unused variables.
+  * Fix unitialized local variable in
+    RGFilterManagerWindow::getPatternFilter: Fixed the potential cases
+    where 'type' would be used unitialized or with the wrong value.
+    Removed the unused local variables.
+  * Fix size_t assigned to int: Corrected int to size_t.
+  * Add missing const to getName(), getSubViews() and getViews(): Added
+    the missing const attributes and revised the implementation of the
+    respective methods.
+  * Fix "unused local variable": Removed the unused variables. [ amaa-99
+    ]
+  * Fix the building out-of-tree (#189)
+  * Remove the obsolete intl source folder.
+  * Fix memory leaks in RPatternPackageFilter::addPattern(): Revised the
+    implementation and added the missing freeing of allocated memory.
+  * Invalid non-blank line in synaptic.desktop.in: Removed the leading
+    '_' from the Name, GenericName and Comment entries.
