- Update all copyright and description headers and consistently format
them.
- Rename all TestCase classes to "_T", which makes it much easier to run
individual tests from the command line.
- Testsuite: Verify that report details are/are not shown. This uncovered
that details about package installation failures were not shown before
sending them, which is fixed now.
- test/hooks: Do not try to add hook information to kernel_crashdump test
case, since we do not have an UI here. This test case broke when the
system had an interactive package hook for the kernel.

apport (1.10-0ubuntu1) lucid; urgency=low
* New upstream release:
- Add a mode for updating an existing problem report to ui.py
(-u/--update). This is similar to the Ubuntu specific "apport-collect"
tool, but implemented the right way now: In particular, this has access
to the UI and thus can use interactive hooks (LP: #385811) and show you
what is being sent for confirmation/cancelling (LP: #371827)
- apport-bug: If invoked as "apport-collect" or "apport-update-bug" (i. e.
through a symlink), run apport in update mode (-u <number>). This
provides a convenient no-options command line program. Please note that
setup.py does not currently install such a symlink. Update the
apport-bug manpage accordingly.
- launchpad.py: Use new login_with() to clean up code, and specify allowed
access levels (WRITE_PRIVATE is the only sensible one anyway).
(LP: #410205)
- New hookutils functions:
+ xsession_errors (match lines from ~/.xsession-errors)
+ shared_libraries (determine which libraries a binary links with)
+ links_with_shared_library (test if a binary links with a particular
library)
- New CrashDatabase API: get_affected_packages(), can_update(), is_reporter()
- Rename CrashDatabase.update() to update_traces().
- Add CrashDatabase.update() for adding all new fields of a report. This is
primarily useful for collecting local standard and package hook data for an
already existing bug report which was not filed through Apport. This checks
can_update()/is_reporter() if the user is eligible for updating that
particular bug. (LP: #485880)
- Ignore SIGXCPU and SIGXFSZ; thanks to Kees Cook. (LP: #498074)
- launchpad.py: Do not mark non-Ubuntu bugs as needs-retrace, since there is
no retracer right now. (LP: #489794)
