30. By Steve McIntyre on 2013-04-28

[ Steve McIntyre ]
* add UEFI support, patch from Andrey Borzenkov:
  + skip legacy MS loader detection on UEFI platform
  + add framework for searching EFI System Partition
  + add scripts that detect Microsoft bootloader and ELILO.
* Add myself to uploaders.

29. By Christian Perrier on 2012-12-22

[ Christian Perrier ]
* Deal with grub-probe exiting with non zero status on some
  devices, which in turns can stuck update-grub
  Closes: #680084

[ Joey Hess ]
* Fix detection of Fedora and other distros that moved /lib into /usr
  and left behind a symlink. Grub's filesystem code does not support
  symlinks. Closes: #685159 Thanks Andreas Bombe for the patch.

28. By Colin Watson on 2012-09-17

[ Hedayat Vatankhah ]
* Add support for probing Fedora's location for the GRUB 2 configuration
  file (closes: #674560).

[ Colin Watson ]
* Fix the parsing code in the grub2 handler so that it no longer gets
  hopelessly confused by multiple single-quoted strings on the same line,
  as produced by GRUB 2.00.

27. By Christian Perrier on 2012-08-25

* Improve detection of Haiku: detect the 64-bit version
  Closes: #685228
* Add myself to Uploaders

26. By Christian Perrier on 2012-07-07

* Team upload

[ Joey Hess ]
* Avoid noise when /proc/swaps does not exist. Closes: #673566

25. By Christian Perrier on 2012-05-07

* Team upload
* Use Package-Type instead of deprecated XC-Package-Type
  for os-prober-udeb
* Add ${misc:Depends} to udeb dependencies
* Link to explicit GPL-2 document in debian/copyright
* sed off (hdn,n) from the front of an initrd path,
  as seen in Mandriva/Mageia grub configs.
  Thanks to François Jaouen and Barry Jackson for the patch
  Closes: #566102

24. By Joey Hess <email address hidden> on 2012-04-20

[ Stéphane Graber ]
* Add support for Windows 8.

[ Colin Watson ]
* Install README and TODO in the .deb.

[ Joey Hess ]
* Revert broken patch adding support for BSD distributions. Closes: #668860

23. By Colin Watson on 2012-03-27

[ Joey Hess ]
* Relax the MS-DOS detection again now that it will not cause
  false positives for non-FAT filesystems.

[ Colin Watson ]
* Use 'type' rather than 'which' to test for grub-mount, as d-i doesn't
  have 'which'. Also test for grub-probe before using it, as that isn't
  currently in grub-mount-udeb and I'm going to need to add it
  (LP: #963471).

22. By Colin Watson on 2012-03-15

[ Joey Hess ]
* Clarify license version is GPL-2+, for all code written by Joey
  Hess, Colin Watson, Christian Perrier, Otavio Salvador and
  Joshua Kwan. The license had just been "GNU GPL"; other contributors
  to os-prober are encouraged to clarify which GPL versions apply to
  their code.

[ Otavio Salvador ]
* Add support to detect BSD systems. Thanks to Gavrilin Andrey
  <email address hidden> for the patch (refs: #659208).

[ Joey Hess ]
* Avoid false positives in MS-DOS detection by also looking for
  autoexec.bat. Closes: #663540

[ Colin Watson ]
* When using grub-mount, pass the GRUB filesystem type to individual tests
  rather than "fuseblk". Adjust a number of tests to handle GRUB
  filesystem names as well as OS names (closes: #663540, #663600).

21. By Colin Watson on 2011-08-29

[ Robert Millan ]
* Depend on grub-mount-udeb only on architectures with FUSE support.

[ Colin Watson ]
* Restrict grub-mount-udeb dependency to architectures where
  grub-mount-udeb exists (closes: #639599).
