update-notifier (3.192.1.7-1+ppa1~bionic1) bionic; urgency=medium

    Rename source tarball: .tar.xz -> .orig.tar.xz
    debian/source/format: 3.0 (quilt).
    debian/changelog: Set debian_revision to 1 (by appending -1 to version).
    debian/control: Build-Depends: quilt

  * Restore tray icon notifications that were in version 0.134, unless the
    GSettings com.ubuntu.update-notifier auto-launch boolean value is true.
    (LP: #1246364)

    debian/patches/restore_icon.patch

    Important:

    This patched build is able to show a notification icon (instead of
    launching update-manager in a minimized state) when updates are available.
    To enable this behavior, the user must disable auto-launch mode using
    this command line:

    gsettings set com.ubuntu.update-notifier auto-launch false

    Newer upstream releases display the icon using libappindicator instead of
    the GTK+ status icon API.  (The source code still contains support for
    both, but only one or the other is compiled, and libappindicator takes
    precedence on systems where HAVE_APP_INDICATOR is defined.)
    Libappindicator claims to fall back to a generic tray icon if no Indicator
    is available, but it doesn't work in all versions.
    (See bug 1086656: https://bugs.launchpad.net/libappindicator/+bug/1086656 )
    Therefore, some users may have to add an Indicator plugin to their desktop
    panel to make this patched build's notification icon visible.
    The xfce4-indicator-plugin package provides one such plugin.

  * Restore reboot-required notifications that were in version 0.134, unless
    the GSettings com.ubuntu.update-notifier hide-reboot-notification boolean
    value is true.
    (LP: #1246364)
