      [ Joey Hess ]
      * Run isohybrid on i386 and amd64 miniiso, which allows it to be written
        directly to and booted from a USB stick. 
    
      [ Samuel Thibault ]
      * Explicitly set timeout to -1 in grub configurations, to make it easy to
        set it to 0 for preseeding.
    
      [ Otavio Salvador ]
      * Update Linux kernel modules for 2.6.32-25.
      * Fix parameter used to force generic IDE driver. Thanks to Rafael
        rafuch0 Rumbos S <email address hidden> by reporting it.
        Closes: #599041.
      * Disable localudebs usage due APT bug #600852. This has been done to
        not delay Beta1 release but needs to be reverted as soon as
        possible.

      [ Martin Michlmayr ]
      * orion5x: Temporarily remove jffs2-modules and minix-modules from
        the initrd because the image is too large.  This will be fixed
        properly soon when we move to new kernel udebs. Closes: #590010

      [ Frans Pop ]
      * Major update of Debian Installer Internals document.
      * Move menu-item-numbers.txt and available-hooks.txt to D-I Internals.
      * Exclude localechooser, kbd-chooser and auto-install for all installs
        of type network-console.
      * armel/orion5x: drop some additional languages as the image is too large.
      * Drop languages only supported in graphical installer by default and only
        keep them for targets that build graphical installer images.
    
      [ Otavio Salvador ]
      * Do not list dhcp3-client-udeb in pkg-lists since it is added, when
        needed, as dependency in netcfg.

      [ Otavio Salvador ]
      * debian/copyright: clarify it is licensed in GPL 2 or later.
    
      [ Frans Pop ]
      * Include contents of fosdem07 talk as a tarball instead of loose files as
        they confuse Lintian.
      * get-packages: correctly restore original Packages files when script exits
        after they have been filtered.
      * x86: only include gtk related syslinux files in the cd_info tarball for
        debian-cd if we're building both text and gtk images.
      * Bump debhelper compat to 6; bump Standards-Version to 3.8.3.
      * gen-sources.list.udeb: also use any mirrors defined in files in the
        /etc/apt/sources.list.d directory; /etc/apt/sources.list can be empty.
      * gen-sources.list.udeb: allow for multiple spaces and tabs in a source line.
      * Remove unused references to socket-modules from pkg-lists.
      * Drop no longer needed versioned build dependency on dpkg.
    
      [ Aurelien Jarno ]
      * Build GNU/kFreeBSD images using grub-mkrescue instead of grub-image, 
        using patch from Robert Millan.
    
      [ Samuel Thibault ]
      * Add hurd-i386 configuration files.
      * Add mtools, win32-loader, and grub-pc build-dependency on hurd-i386 too.
    
      [ Colin Watson ]
      * Upgrade to debhelper v7.

      [ Colin Watson ]
      * Merge from Ubuntu:
        - Document new $default_filesystem substitution and
          $default_filesystem{ } internal specifier in partman recipes.
      * Initial changes to target squeeze (see
        http://lists.debian.org/debian-release/2009/01/msg00682.html for its
        version number).
      * Add cdebconf-newt-terminal to most images that include
        cdebconf-newt-udeb (although not floppies).
      * Introduce *_SUPPORTED_EXTRA variables, which can be used to define
        "optional" supported targets. Use this to allow monolithic to be built
        without having to edit configuration files and without bloating official
        builds.
      * Use os-prober-udeb rather than os-prober for powerpc monolithic target
        (thanks, Wartan Hachaturow).
      * Filter udeb dependencies based on Kernel-Version and Subarchitecture
        (closes: #490634).
      * Filter out packages that don't match KERNELVERSION from downloaded
        Packages files. Despite the above change, apt still seems to want to
        pull in multiple providers of virtual packages, which causes problems
        otherwise.
      * Clear Dir::Etc::sourceparts in build/util/pkg-list, to match
        build/util/get-packages.
      * Fix spelling of mdcfg in menu-item-numbers.txt.
      * Update menu-item-numbers.txt to account for architectures moving towards
        partman, and the merge of lvmcfg and mdcfg into partman-lvm and
        partman-md respectively.
      * Remove mention of autopartkit, removed in r52272.
      * Update design.txt to account for base-config's removal (!).
      * Add some notes on recommended use of debhelper in d-i, based on my
        conversion of most packages to dh(1).
      * Update porting.txt for partman changes (default_disk_label moved to
        partman-partitioning/lib/disk-label.sh).
      * Update references to svn.d-i.alioth.debian.org to refer to
        svn.debian.org instead.
      * cdebconf has had the PROGRESS extension nearly forever; update
        retriever.txt to mention it.
    
      [ Martin Michlmayr ]
      * Remove support for the old arm port.
      * Convert the Thecus N2100 image to an initramfs.
      * Include minix-modules on the orion5x image for the D-Link DNS-323,
        thanks Matt Palmer.
      * Generate images for the D-Link DNS-323 and Conceptronic CH3SNAS,
        thanks Matt Palmer.  Closes: #503040.
      * Use the 2.6.29 kernel on armel, mips and mipsel.
      * Use the 2.6.30-2 kernel on armel.
      * Add images for the Marvell Kirkwood platform, including support for:
        - QNAP TS-119, TS-219 and TS-219P
        - Marvell OpenRD-Base and OpenRD-Client
        - Marvell SheevaPlug
      * Change the MAC address stored in the u-boot environment on the QNAP
        TS-119, TS-219 and TS-219P.
      * Remove Broadcom SWARM (sb1-bcm91250a) support since since few devices
        remain out there and debian-installer support is likely broken anyway.
      * Remove Broadcom Bigsur (sb1a-bcm91480b) support since debian-installer
        support never worked.
    
      [ Wartan Hachaturow ]
      * Add CHRP boot structure on ISO images, Closes: #411728, #411203.
      * Add monolithic support for powerpc64.
      * Use 2.6.29 kernel on powerpc/powerpc64.
    
      [ Otavio Salvador ]
      * Bump kernels to use new 2.6.26-2 kernels.
    
      [ Christian Perrier ]
      * Add needed characters for Kirghiz.
      * Take care to drop System.map after moving the kernel to the top of the
        tree and before removing the /boot directory there.
    
      [ Frans Pop ]
      * Drop support for the ppc64 architecture.
    
      [ Stephen R. Marenka ]
      * Move m68k to 2.6.29-1.
    
      [ dann frazier ]
      * Use 2.6.29-2 kernel on ia64.
    
      [ Frans Pop ]
      * Switch to 2.6.29-2 kernel for hppa.
    
      [ Ian Campbell ]
      * Add netboot-xen images for amd64.
      * Add cdrom-xen images for i386 and amd64.
    
      [ Otavio Salvador ]
      * Switch to 2.6.29-2 kernel for amd64 and i386.
    
      [ Aurelien Jarno ]
      * Use back mklibs instead of mklibs-copy on mips and mipsel now that
        they work again.
    
      [ Frans Pop ]
      * Implement version 2.0 of syslinux framework for x86. Basically this
        backports the structure already implemented in debian-cd before the
        release of Lenny to D-I (allowing to simplify the code in debian-cd).
        Main changes:
        - enhance templates to support selecting a default desktop environment
        - support four types of syslinux configuration by setting SYSLINUX_CFG
        - allow to define alternative default desktop environment (DESKTOP)
        - split out rescue options as those are independent of desktop selection
        - simplify setting correct directory to kernel/initrd for debian-cd
      * Using the new framework, users can now also select an alternative desktop
        environments from the boot menu for netboot/miniiso-based installs.
      * sparc: display message for unsupported subarchitectures (mini.iso).
    
      [ Otavio Salvador ]
      * Update alpha, amd64, armel, hppa, i386, mips, mipsel, powerpc and sparc
        to 2.6.30-1.
    
      [ Frans Pop ]
      * Update s390 to 2.6.30-1 using -s390x (64-bits) kernel.
      * Use printf instead of 'echo -en' to create win32-loader.ini.
        Closes: #539933.
    
      [ Max Vozeler ]
      * build/Makefile: Support ROOTCMD with fallback to fakeroot unless
        overriden or already running as root.
    
      [ Luca Favatella ]
      * Handle libc0.1 (GNU/kFreeBSD) and libc0.3 (GNU/Hurd) as libc6/libc6.1.
      * Add ufs1 initrd support. Thanks to Robert Millan and Thorsten Glaser.
      * Add kfreebsd-i386 monolithic config files. Thanks to Robert Millan.
      * Use arch independent code for LSB_DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION.
      * Use grub to boot kfreebsd-* d-i CD. Thanks to Robert Millan.
      * Use makefs to generate the image. Thanks to Thorsten Glaser.
    
      [ Aurelien Jarno ]
      * Add kfreebsd-i386 netboot config files.
      * Add kfreebsd-amd64 config files.
      * Share code between kfreebsd-*
      * Add a splash screen for kfreebsd-*.
    
      [ Otavio Salvador ]
      * Move hppa, i386, amd64, alpha, mipsel, s390, ia64, mips, powerpc
        and sparc to Linux kernel 2.6.31-2 ABI.
    
      [ Frans Pop ]
      * Change default video mode for i386/amd64 to vga=788 for installations
        using the "newt" frontend. This forces the framebuffer to VESA and will
        thereby solve problems reported on various HP notebooks with the vga16fb
        driver. It also increases the screen size and thus allows more information
        to be displayed. Closes: #471505.
      * [s390] Add localechooser to initrd for generic target (see #316006).
      * Implement clean method to include udebs from proposed-updates for builds
        for stable and testing.
    
      [ Joey Hess ]
      * Remove upx from build-deps, has not been used for over a year.
    
      [ Otavio Salvador ]
      * Disable GTK+ based images due #557387. This ought to be reverted
        once GTK+ DFB backend is fixed.
