11. By Evan on 2008-10-27

* Always write cdrom-detect/try-usb=true, rather than just when
  persistence is enabled.
* persist was always getting enabled as the flag for it was being passed as
  a string rather than an integer.
* Fix crash when the shutdown function would get called before the install
  process began (LP: #277869).
* Added an icon (taken from Ubiquity until we have an icon of our own)
  (LP: #285704).
* Add dependency on gksu. Thanks Colin Watson (LP: #286950).

10. By Evan on 2008-10-17

* Write syslinux configuration to text.cfg as well (LP: #285011).
* Move from System Tools to Administration (LP: #285009).

9. By Evan on 2008-10-16

* Add cdrom-detect/try-usb=true to the kernel command line so that
  usb-creator is usable with alternate CDs (LP: #234185).
* Properly notify that the the user needs to insert a CD, not a USB disk,
  when no CD is inserted.

8. By Evan on 2008-09-28

* Unmount filesystems before formatting the device (LP: #273671).
* Apparently order matters with respect to keyword arguments.
* Filter out removable CD-ROM devices when trying to find empty disks
  (LP: #271006).
* Only look for devices that have the media_size property when looking for
  empty partition tables (LP: #271006).
* Remove the device representing an empty partition table if we find one of
  its partitions (LP: #273671).
* Properly set the boot device.
* Shut down the install process when the cancel button is pressed.
* Add the persistence and noprompt options to syslinux.cfg.
* Handle the install process dying before shutdown() is called.

7. By Evan on 2008-09-25

* Write the log file to SUDO_USER's home directory, not root's.
* Start the file chooser in SUDO_USER's home directory (LP: #273642).
* Show a warning dialog when an ISO image cannot be used (LP: #272415).

6. By Evan on 2008-09-25

* Add --safe option to enable syslinux's 'safe, slow, and stupid' mode
  (LP: #273740).
* Fix cases where free_space gets called after we've unmounted filesystems
  as part of the shutdown process (LP: #273861).
* Lower debhelper requirement for Hardy backport (LP: #273936).
* Update percentage by bytes, not files copied (LP: #269037).
* Remove files and directories that we're going to write to beforehand.
* Notify the user that they need to insert an USB stick when none are
  available (LP: #267794).

5. By Evan on 2008-09-23

* Refactor the code to set up signal receivers and disconnect the
  property_modified callback before the main installation process.
* Replaced the MessageDialogs with full dialogs defined in Glade to avoid
  the windows not appearing in the taskbar and falling behind other
  windows.
* Create a partition table before attempting to create new partitions.
* Require the device be formatted if a vfat partition is not present.
* Show a message dialog with warnings from the backend.
* Set the boot flag when installing the bootloader (LP: #272775).

[ Evan Dandrea ]
* Added a man page for usb-creator.8.
* UI reworking after discussions with mpt. Thanks Matthew.
  - The labels are far less wordy.
  - Enabling persistence is now an explict option button selection rather
    than implicitly enabled when the slider is moved to a value greater
    than 0.
  - There are now two treeviews, instead of the previous comboboxes, that
    update automatically to reflect changes to the device's structure, and
    provide warnings when a device is either unusable or require the user
    to delete some files to free up space before continuing.
* Fixed the left-alignment of labels thanks to a tip from Colin Watson.
* Merged the separate CD and ISO lists into the CD list in the backend.
* Replaced the log-output backed command wrapper with a simpler solution
  (LP: #269044).
* Now logging to ~/.usb-creator.log instead of just stdout.
* Moved the persistence code from the backend to scripts/install.py and
  wired up the persistence scale in the frontend.
* The backend now reports the task description in addition to the progress
  value.
* A failure dialog is now shown when scripts/install.py exits non-zero
  (LP: #269035).
* Mount the target device at install time if it has not already been
  mounted (LP: #269032).
* Properly set the labels of the progress dialog on install startup.
* Do not make the dialogs modal.
* Elevate privileges using gksu.
* Added a .desktop file (LP: #267788).
* Work around a bug in syslinux wherein it can only find the configuration
  file for the option labels in the root of the device.
* Handle devices with empty partition tables.
* Automatically mount (and unmount) partitions (LP: #269032).
* Fixed missing Debian dependencies (LP: #269767).
* UI Freeze exception upload (LP: #270530).

[ Colin Watson ]
* Avoid executing commands via the shell (LP: #269048).

Fix incorrect paths leftover from testing.

2. By Evan on 2008-09-09

* Fix FTBFS. Thanks David Futcher (LP: #267103).
* Corrected licensing to GPLv3 rather than GPLv3+.
* Replaced 'Select a CD image...' combobox item with an Add button
  (LP: #267798).
* Fixed some widget spacing issues.
* Fixed progress reporting and switched back to using the internal install
  routine.
* Unset the sensitivity of the install button where appropriate.
* Added a successful completion dialog.
