ubiquity (2.3.18) maverick; urgency=low

  [ Evan Dandrea ]
  * Improve the text on the prepare page, based on input from Matthew
    Paul Thomas, Amanda Brock, and Andrew Sinclair
    (LP: #635269, LP: #635260).
  * Translate latitude and longitude from the Geonames service to its
    respective Olsen timezone database entry.
  * Add back the hostname entry (LP: #628087).
  * Use a block device icon for cases where we cannot detect the
    operating system on a partition.
  * Set the amount of used space on a partition that we presume contains
    no operating system (LP: #626299).
  * Make requiring a password to log in the default again, matching the
    behavior in the previous version of Ubuntu.
  * Use the correct string for the resize partition option.
  * Set the size of the disk on the automatic partitioning page
    (LP: #626299).
  * Use dmidecode to get a more unique suffix for the hostname
    (LP: #628087).
  * Also generate a sample hostname when generating a sample username
    (LP: #634279).
  * Only set the next button to 'Install Now' when not on the first
    partitioning page (LP: #636392).
  * Fix transposed latitude and longitude in geonames lookup.
  * Provide a version parameter to the geoname lookup.
  * Show the number of partitions that will be deleted when in 'use
    entire disk' mode.
  * Remove Pango markup from the debconf templates where possible.
  * Properly set the partition widget description label.
  * Use a GtkMenuBar rather than a GtkMenu as the source of the dark
    styling to match recent changes to the default theme.
  * Properly start a ConsoleKit session (LP: #631538).
  * Fix the spacing on the automatic partitioning page.
    gui/gtk/stepPartAuto.ui
  * Correct layout based on suggestions from Matthew Paul Thomas.
  * Correct layout on keyboard guesser.
  * Run the Jockey backend with an in-memory debconf database, and run
    the frontend asynchronously (LP: #627822).
  * Don't show the GTK frontend until it's done constructing the UI.
  * Show a spinning cursor on the X root window in addition to the
    ubiquity window, so it's clear that the installer is loading the
    next page even when the cursor is off the main window.
  * Make return_to_partitioning work with parallel debconf instances
    (LP: #637706).
  * Added a Windows icon for the resize widget.  Thanks Otto Greenslade!
  * Disable the alpha warning, albeit late.
  * Add a command line option to not install a bootloader
    (-b, --no-bootloader) (LP: #615033).
  * Do not show 'free space' partitions in the bootloader target
    combobox (LP: #615033).
  * Meet the Geonames.org CC license requirements by adding 'Geonames.org'
    to the map.
  * Install the restricted package independent of the apt-installed
    packages, since those are installed with just the live CD's
    sources.list (LP: #638073).
  * Disable the wireless plugin for now.  It's not ready for release.
  * Make use of the new connectivity check page.
  * Automatic update of included source packages: apt-setup
    1:0.45ubuntu2, hw-detect 1.73ubuntu5.

  [ Mario Limonciello ]
  * Restore the functionality of the noninteractive frontend.
  * Disable GVFS fuse daemon while in ubiquity-dm
  * Remove oem user with userdel rather than deluser (the latter didn't support
    doing it while oem was logged in) (LP: #624888)
  * Run oem-config-wrapper as the user oem rather than root.
    - Fixes issues with pulseaudio applet not working
    - Prevents root terminals from ctrl-alt-t (LP: #594233)
  * Disable general terminals from ctrl-alt-t unless running in debug mode.
    (LP: #594233)
  * Grab focus of the slideshow when it starts, keeping focus off the expander
    in automatic mode.
  * Don't allow progressing past the language page unless a valid language is
    picked.
  * Fix progressbar reporting messages reporting missing from plugininstall.py
    in ubiquity or oem-config.

  [ Colin Watson ]
  * GTK frontend: Make user-setup entry boxes activate the Forward button
    when Enter is pressed.
  * Revert Debug::identcdrom=true for writable USB media; with changes in
    apt 0.8.3ubuntu3, this is sufficient for stable apt-cdrom identification
    of writable USB media (LP: #628290).
