* New upstream release (closes: #444900). ntfsmount sports full read/write,
  libntfs can read encrypted files and ntfsresize supports Vista. Other
  interesting details are:
  - ntfsmount now creates files and directories with security descriptor
    that grant full access to everyone.
  - ntfsmount: Remove "show_sys_files" as potential harmful and introduce
    new "case_insensitive" option to support both case sensitive and
  - Allow mounting volumes with non-clean logfile with force mount option.
  - ntfsclone: Define endianness safe image format.
  - Introduce NTFS_MNT_FORENSIC mount option, otherwise the logfile gets
    wiped out by the mount attempt if it is not read-only.
  - mkntfs: Generate a random DCE compliant UUID for the created volume
    and include --with-uuid[=PFX] and --without-uuid options.
  - mkntfs: Always set default cluster size to 4096 bytes regardless of
    volume size. This is what Windows Vista does and it makes perfect
    sense from a performance point of view.
  - mkntfs: As announced, remove the deprecated support for creation of
    NTFS 1.2/3.0 volumes. It now creates NTFS 3.1 volumes only.
  - mkntfs: Create more Vista-like volumes. It now matches the security
    descriptor attributes (but not yet the security descriptors stored in
    $Secure).
    insensitive mounts.
  - libntfs: Ignore bootsector checksum inconsistencies as too many 3rd
    party utilities update the boot sector without correcting the
    checksum.
  - ntfsdecrypt: Major improvement! Now the .pfx file is validates to be
    the right type of RSA key and other safety checks.
  - Transparently integrate reading of encrypted files into library. This
    adds a dependency on libconfig >= 1.0.1 to read list of PFX files with
    keys, imposible to have because that libconfig is not packaged in Debian
    (as far as I know).
  - Fixed lots of bugs along all the code, and also resolved endianness
    bugs.
  - Fixed typos (closes: #437893).
* debian/control:
  - Added dpkg-dev (>= 1.13.19) to Build-Depends in order to use
    ${binary:Version} instead of ${Source-Version} in the dependency of
    libntfs-dev on libntfs9. Thanks to Frank Küster (closes: #414124).
  - Added uuid-dev and dependency on libfuse-dev >= 2.7.0.
  - Commented out parts talking about ntfsdecrypt, as I need libconfig (not
    the one that is in Debian) packaged before. This, apparently, closes:
    #427789.
* Fixed some lintian errors.

Upload to unstable. Please test by resizing Vista (more information in
bug #379628).

* debian/control:
  - The conflict with ntfstools should be versioned. Thanks, Joerg (closes:
    #278303).
  - Dropped from Build-Depends field completely gcc, as the version shipped
    with sarge will be >= 3:3.2.3.

* New upstream release.
* Upstream now includes the fixes for the powerpc build, so cleaned a bit
  the diff.
* Now mkntfs has two new options: -I, which disables content indexing on the
  volume and -C, which enables compression on the volume.
