Comment 4 for bug 50319

ubiquity (1.1.12) edgy; urgency=low

  * Install apt-setup cdrom generator.
  * Send all log messages to syslog rather than stderr. Use log-output from
    di-utils for external processes where necessary.
  * Remove several obsolete functions from ubiquity.misc.
  * Fix misc.ex to use subprocess.call properly rather than smashing
    arguments together and invoking them via the shell.
  * Remove duplicate logging from Install.chrex.
  * Remove /var/log/installer/syslog from all error messages etc., as
    everything goes to /var/log/syslog now. /var/log/syslog is now copied to
    /var/log/installer/syslog on the target system.
  * Automatically set UBIQUITY_NO_GTK or UBIQUITY_NO_KDE to disable building
    frontends as appropriate if tools are missing (pygtk-codegen-2.0 for the
    GTK frontend, kdepyuic for the KDE frontend). This should never happen
    in normal builds, but saves typing when building test versions.
  * Teach DebconfFilter to send escaped replies when CAPB escape is set.
  * Fix substitution variable for full name in ubiquity/summary.
  * I never really understood the whole control flow around the summary
    page, and I wrote it! Take advantage of the partman-commit script added
    in partman-base 90ubuntu4, so that instead we shut down partman, run the
    summary page, and then start it back up to commit changes. The
    PartmanCommit component is now used for both automatic and manual
    partitioning, and is simply called directly from progress_loop; and the
    Summary component no longer needs to be run with a temporary debconf
    database.
  * Configure locales and the user account before running target-config
    hooks (closes: Malone #50319).
  * GTK frontend: Put a button on the summary page to allow the user to
    install GRUB to somewhere other than the MBR of the first hard disk
    (closes: Malone #41579).
  * Install list-devices, since a fair bit of backend code now uses it.
  * Automatic update of included source packages: debian-installer-utils
    1.35ubuntu2, partman-base 90ubuntu5, partman-target 45ubuntu1.
