[ Steve Langasek ]
* If we can't figure out the target user's uid/gid, don't copy the photo
  to the user's home directory. Addresses the immediate symptom of bug
  #947738, if not the root cause.

[ Colin Watson ]
* Automatic update of included source packages: apt-setup 1:0.55ubuntu4,
  console-setup 1.70ubuntu5.

505. By Colin Watson on 2012-04-19

* Fix crash when attempting to update the installer and a language isn't
  selected for some reason (LP: #985368).
* Automatic update of included source packages: partman-target 77ubuntu2.

504. By Colin Watson on 2012-04-19

[ Colin Watson ]
* Install ubiquity-frontend-$frontend along with oem-config-$frontend to
  improve dependency resolution; with the packaging the way it is at the
  moment, apt may sometimes select ubiquity-frontend-kde to resolve
  ubiquity's dependency on a frontend before realising that oem-config-gtk
  already depends on ubiquity-frontend-gtk.
* Don't default to installing GRUB to a removable device with /cdrom
  mounted from it, even if /cdrom's filesystem isn't iso9660
  (LP: #984989).
* If encrypting the user's home directory, wipe and enable encrypted swap
  before starting the slideshow, because running the slideshow can use up
  a lot of memory so we won't be able to disable swap once that's in
  progress (LP: #979350).
* Automatic update of included source packages: apt-setup 1:0.55ubuntu3,
  partman-base 153ubuntu4, user-setup 1.42ubuntu3.
* If /etc/network/interfaces doesn't exist when configuring the network in
  oem-config, write out a skeleton one (LP: #985305).

[ Stéphane Graber ]
* Always install oem-config-slideshow-ubuntu in OEM mode, also for
  alternate installs (LP: #984736)

503. By Colin Watson on 2012-04-17

* Update translations from Launchpad.
* Copy the panel gradient from light-themes 0.1.8.25 (Ubuntu 11.10) and
  use it as a fallback in case other panel images cannot be found. The
  correct fix would be to use CSS instead, but I can't seem to make this
  work at the moment (LP: #982883).

502. By Colin Watson on 2012-04-13

* Fix download verification to handle epochs correctly, and add a little
  more logging so that we can debug any further errors along these lines.
* GTK frontend:
  - Disable WebKit's cache, since the slideshow doesn't have a significant
    browsing interface and the cache is memory-hungry. This may help with
    LP #979350.

501. By Colin Watson on 2012-04-13

* Work around occasional undetected download errors in apt by doing our
  own verification pass before trying to install packages (LP: #922949).
* Update translations from Launchpad.

500. By Colin Watson on 2012-04-10

* Try harder to make the unit tests work within autopkgtest:
  - Install mockresolver (it's small, and this really does make the
    plumbing a lot easier).
  - Use test debconf databases stacked on top of the system ones in
    autopkgtest mode rather than requiring tests/build to have been run
    first.
  - Fix test_ubi_partman not to rely on tests/partman-tree/ in autopkgtest
    mode.
* Do a better job of removing .la files.
* Update translations from Launchpad.
* Automatic update of included source packages: base-installer
  1.122ubuntu7.

499. By Colin Watson on 2012-03-26

* Move oem-config-udeb's menu item before that of user-setup's, which
  moved to 2400 in user-setup 1.30.
* Don't remove cryptsetup if there are any uncommented entries in
  /etc/crypttab (LP: #893548).

498. By Colin Watson on 2012-03-23

[ Colin Watson ]
* Fix test_misc.GrubDefaultTests.test_avoid_cdrom.
* Invert the set of locale categories set in case of a language/location
  conflict, so we now set LC_NUMERIC, LC_TIME, LC_MONETARY, LC_PAPER,
  LC_NAME, LC_ADDRESS, LC_TELEPHONE, LC_MEASUREMENT, and LC_IDENTIFICATION
  instead (LP: #926207).
* Automatic update of included source packages: localechooser 2.39ubuntu2.

[ Brian Murray ]
* UTF-8-encode debug messages which are written to stderr (LP: #960278)

497. By Colin Watson on 2012-03-23

* ubiquity.misc.boot_device needs root privileges in order to talk to
  parted_server.
* Make ubiquity-frontend-gtk depend on busybox-static | busybox for now,
  matching the 'busybox tail' workaround in ubiquity 2.9.32 (LP: #962585).
* Automatic update of included source packages: flash-kernel 2.28ubuntu42.
