newsbeuter (2.9-8) unstable; urgency=medium

    The original author of newsbeuter has been unresponsive for a while and the
    current upstream maintainer does not have enough privileges to issue a new
    release. As a result, newsbeuter is now abandoned and forked into newsboat[1].

    Newsboat has already been added to the debian repos[2] so migration should
    be as simple as installing via apt and running it. Migration from
    newsbeuter (i.e. renaming the configuration files to match the new name) is
    automated.

    Please note that eventually newsbeuter will be removed from debian and be
    fully replaced by newsboat.

    For more information refer to the fork announcement[3].
