* Don't run os-prober during install unless dual boot.
* debian/control:
- Depends on dpkg-repack.
* If the dell-recovery instance is running from the same series
(eg natty) as the recovery partition:
- Check the latest version in the recovery partition
- Compare to the running version.
- If the running version is newer, include it in the new image
that was generated.
- This is meant for the SRU case. If an SRU is pushed for say 0.88.1
then that SRU could be included in target media too.

* OIE Archives: use tar format instead of tar.gz.
- This is mostly because of limitations of tar.exe for WinPE.
- A lot of the content (debs and squashfs) are already compressed using gzip,
bz2, or lzma anyway.
* Include a grubenv in factory config.
* In recovery partition grub.cfg, use $prefix rather than hardcoding.
* In recovery partition grub.cfg, use -- to delimit the end of line.
* After SUCCESS, clean up the factory directory (regardless of if this was
a factory install).

* In the wizard and in bto autobuilder offer a new option to run an image in
OIE mode. This connects the image through all of the plumbing from 0.80
and also disables it after the first successful run through.
* With several different distinct installation methods, we don't know how we
booted necessarily. However, for a utility partition to function, a DOS
MBR is required by the end of install. Test the MD5 of the first 440 bytes
of the MBR to make sure that it's one that we support.
* Add support on the OIE page to specify custom scripts for SUCCESS or FAIL
scenarios.
- Update the BTO autobuilder
- Update the GTK page
- Update the backend
- Update the documentation
* Update translations from launchpad.

* If the kernel command line option 'oie' is found, enable OIE
green/red screen.
* Turn off OIE image runs after install.
* BTO Autobuilder:
- Touch the file as the user running autobuilder so it's owned by them rather
than root when finished.
- Add support for [native] isos.
* Don't propogate dell-recovery configuration options through the command line.
Instead store them in preseed/dell-recovery.seed on the recovery partition.
* Support reading in old preseed/dell-recovery.seed from recovery partition
before starting.
* Fix the default preseed to not ask questions about the keyboard for newer
versions of console-setup in natty.
* Make OIE a debian template that can be preseeded and enabled from the GUI.

* Update UI setting logic to the current names of sessions in 11.04. It will

* Disable UI overrides. Default to Unity on all devices for now.

* Add a more in depth workaround for bug 700910.
* Create 'reset' modalias files to block driver installation.
* Automatically mark all upgradable packages in the apt cache for upgrade.
* Store ISOs created during OOBE in the user's Downloads directory
* Add an optional method to directly invoke the burner during first boot.
(disabled initially)
* Attempt to invoke 'usb-creator-gtk' as the user 'oem' to help work around
SIGSEGV's happening when launched as root.

* Add a new binary package, dell-recovery-bootloader.
* Translate the recovery line that is inserted into grub.cfg based
upon the initial language selected during OOBE.
* Include a Chinese translation of the above.
* Use dbus-launch to start brasero (LP: #698347)
* Remove superfolous --set parameters in grub.cfg's.
* Adjust to current modules available in natty for bootloader postinst.
* If the utility partition is corrupted, abort DRMK install, but don't
cause the installer to crash.
* If a package specifies a modaliases field, don't mark it for automatic
installation if it's in debs/main.
* Mark Jockey to install both free and non-free drivers.
* On native BTO compatible images make sure to record in bto.xml that they're
native during stage1.
* On native BTO compatible images also record the date during stage1.
* Add a test for bug 700910. If encountered, skip that phase of install.
* Update translations from Launchpad.

* Updated Error string for non Dell/Alienware Systems

* Adjust the memory calculation to use /sys/firmware/memmap as
dmi-available-memory is no longer available in natty.
* Check for an omsk recovery option in /proc/cmdline and in the squashfs
during the initrd. If it's found, don't run standard recovery/install.
* Make sure /var/log/syslog actually exists before backing it up.
* Check for running on an omsk image, and force dual boot to true if so.
* During OOBE save the first set language as the language that recovery
from HDD is ran as. (LP: #687480)
* When the grub menu is regenerated, make sure LANG is properly set.
* Fix widget translation for gtk Buttons.
* Fix a backend crash when running in a more translated chinese.
* Fix a backend crash with unicode paths.
* Make sure the GRUB locale is properly set before rebooting in recovery.
* Update translations from launchpad.

dell-recovery (0.74) natty; urgency=low
* Reset the location that grub is installed and looked for on the RP
to be /boot/grub rather than /grub.
- This has implications for the dual boot configuration. Now to
activate a reinstall, /boot/grub/grub.cfg needs to be placed on the
recovery partition. The logic will still prefer one on the OS paritition
however.
- This also means that 0.74 and later are incompatible with any earlier
BTO frameworks. If this is used on something earlier than 11.04, then the
integrated BTO framework from this package should be used instead.
* If an image already provides a grub.cfg or common.cfg in /boot/grub, back
it up to $file.old while building a recovery partition and restore it when
rebuilding the image again.
* Check that the RP is actually a Linux RP before adding to the grub.cfg.
* Test for 99_dell_recovery rather than trusting find_partitions when offering
the recovery from the OS option.

dell-recovery (0.73) natty; urgency=low
* Fix the dual boot seed's command a little
* Add support to boot loopback mounted ISO images on the recovery partition.
- They must be titled 'ubuntu.iso' to function because some parts of the
code can't dynamically detect the filename.
* Run oem-config early and late commands from a shell script rather than a
long chained list of && commands.
* Remove the functionality of setting the pool command.
* Add a new black_tree function that copies files off of a blacklist.
* Only mount the ISO for SDR explosion when in a non-standalone ISO.
* Add support for installing to a primary or logical partition.
* When installing in logical partition mode, generate g2ldr on the
partition of the primary OS.
- This will chainload a /grub/grub.cfg from the recovery partition
for recovery purposes.
- This will chainload a /boot/grub/grub.cfg from the Linux OS partition
for standard purposes.
* Copy grub configuration files to the RP in dual boot mode so they can be
executed from a Windows utility.
* Build g2ldr earlier so that it can be used during install.

* Pull a lot of the FID tree directly into this package.
* Add a new package, dell-recovery-casper intended to be installed in a livefs
seed in order to add dell-recovery support directly to an initrd.
* Detect if there is no scripts/bootstrap.sh in image, then try to put it into
the initrd.
* Set the recovery_type to a new "dynamic" setting by default. This will probe
for recovery partitions to find one that matches the booted device.
* Modify the dual boot seed option to now be boolean.
* Add support for a deb only FID overlay.
* Test the initrd for containing 99dell_bootstrap too.
* Show a spinner while testing the initrd (it can take a while now).
* Produce a bto.xml rather than a collection of bto_* files.
* Allow any return arguments for dbus_sync calls.
* Only write out an xml file with padding if it's a new file.
* Merge in the manufacturing site time zone logic.
* Move the utility partition code out of this package and into a new dell-drmk
package.
* Add missing dependency on genisoimage.
