  file manager (LP: #455199).
* Blacklist gfxboot.cfg in mangle_syslinux (LP: #456990).

* Feature freeze exception (LP: #451124).

[ Cody A.W. Somerville ]
* usbcreator/install.py:
  - Do not copy /syslinux/syslinux.cfg to root of disk, no longer needed.
  - Look at all files ending in .cfg under the syslinux directory when
    updating configuration files based on the options selected in usb-creator.
  - Strip tabs when parsing iso/syslinx config files to correctly identify
    commands in a syslinux config file that indents lines.

[ Evan Dandrea ]
* Small fixes to Cody's changes to the mangle_syslinux function:
  - Don't assume / is the path separator.
  - Add command line entries to the front, to avoid them being carried over
    to the installed system.
  - Write all lines, not just modified ones.
* Properly set the icons in the source treeview. Thanks John S.
  Gruber (LP: #436469).
* Handle the device no longer existing in fs_size (LP: #439001).
* Update translations from Launchpad.

[ Roderick B. Greening ]
* Fix issues with UTF.8 (unicode) strings being cast to str
  (LP: #440719).
  - Updated KDE Front-end

Properly catch exceptions around modifying the syslinux
configuration (LP: #439977).

26. By Evan on 2009-09-29

* Modify adtext.cfg as well when adding options to the syslinux
  configuration (LP: #317059).
* The persistence value is no longer passed around as a string. Fix a
  check that assumed it was. This was causing the persistence option
  to always be written (LP: #436207).

25. By Evan on 2009-09-24

[ Evan Dandrea ]
* Add PolicyKit support (LP: #273483).
* Move logging back to the home directory, now that usb-creator is run as a
  regular user (LP: #431266).
* Use GIO instead of gnomevfs. Only lookup GNOME device names and
  icons as needed.
* Remove the device in the DeviceKit-disks backend when it's removed
  from the system.
* Only set the non-size columns to expand to fill available space in the GTK+
  frontend. Set a minimum width of 75px for all columns.
* Add the missing retry dialog to the GTK+ frontend.
* Fix a deadlock when the failed dialog runs.
* Explicitly depend on mtools, just in case someone removes it and
  expects usb-creator to still work (LP: #295212).
* Re-enable the format button now that Devicekit-disks 007 has been
  released.
* Depend on DeviceKit-disks >= 007.
* Freeze exception (LP: #432542).
* Update translations from Launchpad.

[ Roderick B. Greening ]
* Bump version in setup.py, kde_about.py, usb-creator-gtk, and man to 0.2.7
* Remove completed TODO items
* Update some message strings for translations
* Add the missing retry dialog to the KDE frontend.
* Update man pages to reflect new log file location
* In devicekit backend, ensure mount is empty string '' rather than empty
  dbus.Array to prevent crashes in os.statvfs from misc.py
