---------------
ubiquity (1.99.18) karmic; urgency=low

  [ Evan Dandrea ]
  * Do not provide an inaccurate remaining time estimate for the file copy
    process (LP: #199834). Thanks rugby471!
  * Call reboot as root. Thanks Mario Limonciello!
  * Don't let the user proceed past the timezone page until a selection has
    been made (LP 425011).
  * Automatic update of included source packages: partman-auto
    89ubuntu1, partman-partitioning 71ubuntu1.

  [ Michael Terry ]
  * Add a default oem-config post-install hook that restarts HAL. This lets
    HAL pick up any keyboard changes we made. LP: #395625

  [ Colin Watson ]
  * More packaging simplifications: move dh_clean arguments to debian/clean;
    remove old $(BUILDDIR) cruft; move architecture-specific
    build-dependencies to debian/control, which dpkg has supported for quite
    a while; use dh-di for partman scripts.
  * Update translations from Launchpad.
  * Fix method name to allow page changing in partitioner (LP: #427347).
  * Fix oem-config crash if the KDE frontend is detected, due to trying to
    delete UBIQUITY_MIGRATION_ASSISTANT from the environment when it's not
    there (LP: #414854).
  * Stop ubiquity-dm crashing if a process it's trying to kill doesn't exist
    (LP: #423700).

  [ Jonathan Riddell ]
  * Update path to kdesu in ubiquity-wrapper
