I have seen you even released v0.1.4 - at least guessing from your
commit to the packaging SVN. I would like to clarify something and I
hope you don't mind if I do this in public. But there might be other
beginners and I would like to keep a record of this explanation.
As I realised you are using the file debian/changelog to describe what
you have changed in FreeDiams. But this is not the intention of the
__debian__/changelog file. This file just describes the changes in
the *Debian* *packaging*. So if there is a new version of FreeDiams
the debian/changelog file would say something like this.
freediams (0.1.4-1) UNRELEASED; urgency=low
^^^
mind this Debian version!!!
* New upstream version
* Additional Build-Depends ...
* Bumped Standards-Version ...
* Changes in debian/rules

What you wrote in this file rather belongs to a so called "upstream
changelog" file which if for instance called "ChangeLog" or
ChangeLog.txt or whatever. Here you can document the changes inside
actual upstream (=FreeDiams) code. If you are mixing this up people
which are not using Debian will probably miss your changelog and from
a packaging point of view it might confuse other packagers.
Feel free to ask here or in private if something remains unclear.
Kind regards
Andreas.
