[Robert Ancell]

0.8.5

This is a minor update release.
Some changes include:

  This allows new modesetting drivers to work with plymouth automatically
- fixes for video cards that don't support 32bpp
- add alignment and width features to label controls
- new documentation
- event loop fix
- more serial console fixes
- better systemd integration
- new flush api to client library

0.8.5.1

This is a brown bag release, which merely allows plymouth
to be built without the driver dependent libdrm_* libraries,
but still include the drm renderer.

0.8.6

This is a minor update release.
Some changes include:

- fix flush_area fast-path
- Drop dead code
- seed random number generator by default for script plugins
- allow plymouth to be built without gtk dependency
- cope with lack of /etc/os-release better
- pull in systemd unit files
- add support for new "updates" mode for doing package updates
  (only available for some plugins at the moment)

0.8.6.1

This is a brown bag release.
It's only change is:

- Fix up Makefile to properly install systemd .path file

Steve, do you plan on updating this for Quantal?

I didn't have any plans in that area. Are there specific issues that the
newer version fixes that you think we should be paying attention to?

I haven't investigated the changes, just tracking it as we're behind upstream and Debian. If I get time I'll look at updating it and I'll ask you to review.

[Robert Ancell (robert-ancell)]

Updated packaging is in lp:~robert-ancell/plymouth/update-0.8.6.1 and appears to work correctly.

Delaying to quantal+1 at this point, let's try to get that early next cycle

[Dimitri John Ledkov (xnox)]

The branch should be based on lp:ubuntu/plymouth as this is where the packaging is maintained (via committing directly there).
The proposed branch has brand new history, so it's not easy to merge.

we definitely want the console fixes from 0.8.5 in raring, they fix a bunch of issues in arm land
