descriptions (LP: #438095).

os-prober (1.34) unstable; urgency=low
* Only look for a smart version of mount if we're using busybox mount. In
a normal system, mount probably already handles labels and UUIDs, and
using mount from another filesystem is risky enough that it's worth
avoiding if possible.
* Memoise calls to 'basename $0' in log function.
* Handle escaped special characters in /etc/fstab and /proc/mounts
(LP: #433910).
* dash defines test's -nt operator differently from bash, as it's entitled
to do since this is an extension not defined in POSIX. If file1 exists
and file2 does not, bash returns true but dash returns false. Don't rely
on bash's behaviour when checking whether to use GRUB Legacy or GRUB 2
configuration files, otherwise we end up using neither when only one set
of configuration exists and /bin/sh is dash.
* Try to map LABEL= and UUID= ourselves in linux_mount_boot rather than
relying on mount to do it, to further reduce the chance that we need to
use mount from another filesystem.
* If the filesystem identified by linux-boot-prober as /boot is already
mounted somewhere else, then bind-mount it rather than trying to mount
it again.

os-prober (1.33) unstable; urgency=low
* Distinguish Windows 7, based on a patch from "mattduckman"
(LP: #393565).
* Don't try to mount LUKS partitions (thanks, Chow Loong Jin and Soren
Hansen; closes: #546546, LP: #428785).

os-prober (1.31) unstable; urgency=low
* Upgrade to debhelper v7.
* Detect Acronis Secure Zone (thanks, Alexey Fisher; LP: #354334).
* Run os-prober and linux-boot-prober in a private mount namespace if
possible, to avoid desktop environments picking up the mounts. Thanks to
Gabor Gombas for the suggestion. (Closes: #476184)
* Use vol_id/blkid output if possible to avoid having to try every
possible filesystem for every partition. This isn't actually very much
faster for me, but it certainly cuts down on syslog noise.
* Skip extended and swap partitions (closes: #511518).
* Install Mac OS X probe on i386/amd64 too (LP: #353639).

os-prober (1.30ubuntu1) karmic; urgency=low
* Resynchronise with Debian. Remaining changes:
- If any umount fails, sleep for five seconds and try again, up to three
times; it seems that occasionally desktop automounting systems grab
the device at just the wrong time.
- Install Mac OS X probe on i386/amd64 too, although it will be marked
as unsupported in grub-installer as AFAIK it can only be booted
directly from EFI.
- Detect Acronis Secure Zone.

* Use result function in macosx prober, so that its output appears in
syslog.
* Quote arguments to tests, and in general quote mountpoints that were
fetched from mounted-maps. I've seen the odd log with errors due to
funny characters in mount points.
[ Otavio Salvador ]
* When there're both grub-legacy and grub2 configuration files available
we ought to use the most recently changed. Closes: 534478
