frontend: Don't set title in the maintainer script case when the
action is “triggered”. This totally confuses the Debian Installer
(“Configuring man-db” instead of “Configuring grub-pc”, notably).
Closes: #679327

48. By Colin Watson on 2012-12-10

dpkg-reconfigure: Fix incorrect scoping of control_path that broke
handling of multiple packages (closes: #690755, LP: #1076322).

47. By Colin Watson on 2012-08-13

45. By Joey Hess <email address hidden> on 2012-06-19

* Lithuanian (Rimas Kudelis). Closes: #675699

[ Joey Hess ]

  This makes it possible to switch back and forth between
  debconf and cdebconf. Thanks, Regis Boudin

44. By Colin Watson on 2012-05-06

[ Programs translations ]
* Danish updated. Closes: #664901

[ Debconf translations ]
* Uyghur (Sahran). Closes: #627013
* Serbian Latin (Janos Guljas). Closes: #600143

[ Colin Watson ]
* Make debconf.py Python 3-compatible directly, which only requires
  dropping pre-2.6 support (2.6 was in squeeze), and drop the separate
  debconf3.py implementation. The previous Python 3 implementation
  expected read and write to be binary files, while this expects them to
  be text files. Technically this is an interface break, but since
  'import debconf; debconf.Debconf()' was failing (since sys.stdin and
  sys.stdout are text files), I claim that nobody was using this until now
  anyway.

43. By Colin Watson on 2012-03-14

[ Joey Hess ]
* File DbDriver now creates the directory for the file if it is missing.
  (All other DbDrivers that write files already did this.) Closes: #636621

[ Emmet Hikory ]
* Display error messages in noninteractive frontend (Closes: #367497)

[ Debconf translations ]
* Polish (Michał Kułach). Closes: #657264

* Portugese updated (Américo Monteiro).
* Spanish updated. Closes: #636241
* Sinhala; (Danishka Navin). Closes: #641106
* Russian updated. Closes: #656110

[ Programs translations ]
* Norwegian Bokmål updated. Closes: #654798

[ Joey Hess ]
* Add a belt-and-suspenders test that Text::CharWidth::mblen is not
  returning bogus values, before using Text::WrapI18n. See #641957
* Avoid an uninitialized value warning when a blank line is received
  from the client. Closes: #651642

[ Colin Watson ]
* Remove all hardcoded executable paths, using a new Debconf::Path module.

[ Raphaël Hertzog ]
* Set environment variables expected by maintainer scripts. Closes:
  #560317
* Do not hardcode the path of maintainer scripts, in order to support the
  multiarch layout.

[ Colin Watson ]
* Process any newly pending triggers after running maintainer scripts.

42. By Joey Hess <email address hidden> on 2011-07-29

[ Colin Watson ]
* Make sure __pycache__ is removed on clean (from local python3 tests).

[ Joey Hess ]
* Fix IFS sanitization. Really fixes #381619.
* dpkg-reconfigure, dpkg-preconfigure: Call cdebconf versions if
  the DEBCONF_USE_CDEBCONF variable is set. (Regis Boudin)

41. By Colin Watson on 2011-06-22

[ Joey Hess ]
* Updated Russian man page translation. Closes: #625935
* Updated Galician translation of program po file. Closes: #626475
* Add back documenation for the kde frontend.

[ Martin Pitt ]
* Debconf/FrontEnd/Gnome.pm: Port from Gnome2::Druid to Gtk2::Assistant.
  Original patch by Jani Monoses, thanks! (Closes: #542175, LP: #415038)
* Debconf/Element/Gnome/Select.pm: Drop unused Gnome2 import.
* debian/control: Change libgnome2-perl suggestion to libgtk2-perl
  accordingly.

[ Colin Watson ]
* Fix Gnome frontend to honour backup capability again, and make backup
  page handling work properly.
* Version libgtk2-perl Suggests to match the upstream version where
  Gtk2::Assistant was introduced.
* Convert from deprecated Gtk2::Combo to Gtk2::ComboBox.
* Make sure you can't press Forward on a progress bar in the Gnome
  frontend.
* debconf.py: Drop popen2 compatibility code. subprocess has been
  available since Python 2.4, which is old enough that it was dropped from
  squeeze.
* Build for all currently supported Python 2 versions (closes: #584844,
  #626706).
* Convert to dh_python2 (closes: #603965, #616786).
* Add Python 3 support.
* Perl gets a bit confused by Debconf::Config and Debconf::Priority using
  each other, and objects to bareword use of priority_list in
  Debconf::Config if you do 'use strict; use Debconf::Priority' before
  Debconf::Config is loaded. Work around this. Thanks to James Hunt for
  pointing this out.

40. By Joey Hess <email address hidden> on 2011-04-30

[ Joey Hess ]
* Moved to a git repository. Updated control file fields.
* Removed debconf-english dummy package, and dropped debconf-i18n to a
  Recommends. Debootstrap will still install debconf-i18n as it is
  priority Required.
* debconf-set-selections: Fix comment handling to match description.
  In particular, continued lines that start with a "#" are not comments.
  And, comments only occur at the start of a line (possibly with some
  whitespace before). Closes: #589519
* Updated Danish translation of program po file. Closes: #624645

[ Steve Langasek ]
* Mark debconf Multi-Arch: foreign to indicate that it satisfies the
  dependencies of packages from other than the native arch. Closes:
  #614197
