[ Abou Al Montacir ]
* New upstream major release and multiple maintenace release offering many
  fixes and new features marking a new milestone for the Lazarus development
  and its stability level.
  - The detailed list of changes can be found here:
    http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/Lazarus_1.0_release_notes
    http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/Lazarus_1.0_fixes_branch
* LCL changes:
  - LCL is now a normal package.
      + Platform independent parts of the LCL are now in the package LCLBase
      + LCL is automatically recompiled when switching the target platform,
        unless pre-compiled binaries for this target are already installed.
      + No impact on existing projects.
      + Linker options needed by LCL are no more added to projects that do
        not use the LCL package.
  - Minor changes in LCL basic classes behaviour
      + TCustomForm.Create raises an exception if a form resource is not
        found.
      + TNotebook and TPage: a new implementation of these classes was added.
      + TDBNavigator: It is now possible to have focusable buttons by setting
        Options = [navFocusableButtons] and TabStop = True, useful for
        accessibility and for devices with neither mouse nor touch screen.
      + Names of TControlBorderSpacing.GetSideSpace and GetSpace were swapped
        and are now consistent. GetSideSpace = Around + GetSpace.
      + TForm.WindowState=wsFullscreen was added
      + TCanvas.TextFitInfo was added to calculate how many characters will
        fit into a specified Width. Useful for word-wrapping calculations.
      + TControl.GetColorResolvingParent and
        TControl.GetRGBColorResolvingParent were added, simplifying the work
        to obtain the final color of the control while resolving clDefault
        and the ParentColor.
      + LCLIntf.GetTextExtentExPoint now has a good default implementation
        which works in any platform not providing a specific implementation.
        However, Widgetset specific implementation is better, when available.
      + TTabControl was reorganized. Now it has the correct class hierarchy
        and inherits from TCustomTabControl as it should.
  - New unit in the LCL:
      + lazdialogs.pas: adds non-native versions of various native dialogs,
        for example TLazOpenDialog, TLazSaveDialog, TLazSelectDirectoryDialog.
        It is used by widgetsets which either do not have a native dialog, or
        do not wish to use it because it is limited. These dialogs can also be
        used by user applications directly.
      + lazdeviceapis.pas: offers an interface to more hardware devices such
        as the accelerometer, GPS, etc. See LazDeviceAPIs
      + lazcanvas.pas: provides a TFPImageCanvas descendent implementing
        drawing in a LCL-compatible way, but 100% in Pascal.
      + lazregions.pas. LazRegions is a wholly Pascal implementation of
        regions for canvas clipping, event clipping, finding in which control
        of a region tree one an event should reach, for drawing polygons, etc.
      + customdrawncontrols.pas, customdrawndrawers.pas,
        customdrawn_common.pas, customdrawn_android.pas and
        customdrawn_winxp.pas: are the Lazarus Custom Drawn Controls -controls
        which imitate the standard LCL ones, but with the difference that they
        are non-native and support skinning.
  - New APIs added to the LCL to improve support of accessibility software
    such as screen readers.
* IDE changes:
  - Many improvments.
  - The detailed list of changes can be found here:
    http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/New_IDE_features_since#v1.0_.282012-08-29.29
    http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/Lazarus_1.0_release_notes#IDE_Changes
* Debugger / Editor changes:
  - Added pascal sources and breakpoints to the disassembler
  - Added threads dialog.
* Components changes:
  - TAChart: many fixes and new features
  - CodeTool: support Delphi style generics and new syntax extensions.
  - AggPas: removed to honor free licencing. (Closes: Bug#708695)
[Bart Martens]
* New debian/watch file fixing issues with upstream RC release.
[Abou Al Montacir]
* Avoid changing files in .pc hidden directory, these are used by quilt for
  internal purpose and could lead to surprises during build.
[Paul Gevers]
* Updated get-orig-source target and it compinion script orig-tar.sh so that they
  repack the source file, allowing bug 708695 to be fixed.
