Package: release.debian.org
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: nautilus at packages.debian.org
Control: affects -1 + src:nautilus
User: release.debian.org at packages.debian.org
Usertags: unblock

[ Reason ]
New upstream bugfix release

[ Impact ]
The largest impact is that some crashes were fixed.

The proposed version also improves performance (especially for slower
protocols like SMB), and avoids duplicate information in audio files'
Properties windows.

[ Tests ]
A functionally equivalent package is available in experimental.
I used https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DesktopTeam/TestPlans/Nautilus for manual
testing, which was successful (I skipped the email test, my email client
is not compatible).

There are unit tests for some functionality, which are run at build-time
and pass. I reverted an upstream change that disabled a test that was
failing on their CI: it seems to be reliable on official Debian buildds,
so more coverae seems better.

[ Risks ]
It's a key package, part of our default GNOME desktop, but the changes
are narrowly-targeted and would be easy to revert if necessary.

[ Checklist ]
  [x] all changes are documented in the d/changelog
  [x] I reviewed all changes and I approve them
  [x] attach debdiff against the package in testing
      - testing vs. experimental, the upload I'm proposing for unstable
        would differ only in the changelog
