    - Allow the -core package to overwrite files that belong to

      and fglrx-core when dist-upgrading (LP: #1443016).

The verification of the Stable Release Update for fglrx-installer has completed successfully and the package has now been released to -updates. Subsequently, the Ubuntu Stable Release Updates Team is being unsubscribed and will not receive messages about this bug report. In the event that you encounter a regression using the package from -updates please report a new bug using ubuntu-bug and tag the bug report regression-update so we can easily find any regressions.

---------------
fglrx-installer-updates (2:15.200-0ubuntu0.3) trusty-proposed; urgency=medium

  * debian/fglrx.preinst.in, debian/fglrx.postinst.in:
    - Work around regression when upgrading from releases that do
      not have the -core package. For some reason, the
      update-alternatives command would remove newly installed
      files when previous versions of the same files belonged to
      the previous alternative (LP: #1443016, LP: #1129409).

fglrx-installer-updates (2:15.200-0ubuntu0.2) trusty-proposed; urgency=medium

  * debian/control.in:
    - Allow the -core package to overwrite files that belong to
      fglrx. This prevents errors caused by the split into fglrx
      and fglrx-core (LP: #1443016, LP: #1129409).

fglrx-installer-updates (2:15.200-0ubuntu0.1) trusty-proposed; urgency=medium

    debian/fglrx-updates-core.preinst.in,
    debian/fglrx-updates-core.prerm.in,
    debian/fglrx-updates-core.postrm.in:
    - Drop conflicts/provides/replaces libopencl1 and provide
      opencl-icd (LP: #1129409).
    - Make amdcccle depend on polkit-1.
    - Use pkexec for amdcccle when running Unity.
    - Split the minimal driver into the -core package.

      backporting.
  * debian/patches/call-amdcccle-with-full-path.diff:
    - Pass amdxdg the full path.
  * debian/dkms.conf.in,
    debian/dkms/patches/buildfix_kernel_3.15.patch,
    debian/dkms/patches/buildfix_kernel_3.17.patch,
    debian/dkms/patches/buildfix_kernel_3.19.patch:
    - Add support for Linux 3.15-3.19.
    - Leave the patches disabled for future reference and easier
      backporting.
    - Correct a typo that caused an incorrect dkms.conf to be
      generated from the template.
  * debian/71-fglrx.rules:
    - Tag the device for logind.
