+hurd (20050119-1) unstable; urgency=low
+
+  * The command line syntax for the console client has slightly
+    changed.  It is no longer necessary or even allowed to specify the
+    consnode path to the short `-c' option (e.g. `-c /dev/cons'),
+    /dev/cons is implied as default (but can be changed using the long
+    option, `--consnode=FOO').  When using the mouse or keyboard
+    repeater, the console client command line should now be as follows:
+      console -d vga -d pc_kbd --repeat=kbd -d pc_mouse --repeat=mouse \
+        -d generic_speaker -c /dev/vcs
