  * Bump gnu-efi build-depends in order to really fix the build issues
  * Fix the length of the string used for fudging Apple framebuffers
  * First upload to be built on an Apple running Ubuntu

elilo (3.6-1ubuntu3) dapper; urgency=low

  * Add nasty hacks for Apple systems - switch to text mode on startup, and
    pass the framebuffer size to the system on boot.

elilo (3.6-1ubuntu2) dapper; urgency=low

  * Build with -march=i386 on ia32 systems - appears to be needed for Apple
    hardware
  * Build-depend on gnu-efi-3.0b-1ubuntu2 in order to avoid problems with
    newer toolchains
