Please sync freevial 1.1-1 from Debian unstable (main)

[Siegfried Gevatter]

Binary package hint: freevial

Please sync Freevial 1.1-1 from Debian unstable. There is currently 1.0-1 in Hardy, and it has no Ubuntu specific changes.

Version 1.1 was ready just before Feature Freeze, but as ScottK told me it shouldn't be too difficult to get into Hardy as it's in Universe and there is no risk for it to break some other package we (I'm upstream for it) decided to wait a bit more to test it better and chase some little remaining bugs.

RATIONALE
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 - The database format changed to a XML based one and all databases will be made published only in this format (there is a script to convert files from the old format to the new one available).
 - It includes support for skins, which we consider an important feature (the default theme contains the Catalan LoCo Team logo and such, but now it is possible to change this; the package also includes an alternative KDE4 style skin).
 - Freevial has no reverse dependencies, so there is no risk that it might break anything.
 - As I'm one of the upstream developers, if there was some important problem (which I doubt) I could fix it in little time.

UPSTREAM CHANGELOG
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Version 1.1 - Nightshift
------------------------------

This second release of Freevial includes a lot of important changes
including new thrilling features (like skins), bug fixes and huge
coding improvements. Below we will highlight some of those changes,
except the coding related ones as you probably aren't interested in
them.

Important Improvements:
 - Added support for multiple skins.
 - Changed questions format from CVS to XML for more flexibility.

Other Improvements:
 - More progress on internationalization support.
 - Only allow to change the categories selection in team creation mode.
 - Improved the "--database" command line option, and added "--info-db".
 - Drastically reduced CPU usage when Freevial is minimized.
 - Made it possible to select an answer with the mouse wheel.

Bug Fixes:
 - Fixed errors in many questions from the Catalan database.
 - Fixed a graphics refresh problem when switching categories after
   the game already started (LP: #174933).
