    grml2usb (0.9.22) unstable; urgency=low
    
      [ Ulrich Dangel ]
      * Use GRML_{FLAVOURS,DEFAULT}, PROG_VERSION from global scope.
        grml2usb was aborted when using --bootloader-only --skip-grub-config
        as parameters. This fixes the behaviour and declares correctly the
        correct scope for these variables. Thanks to Daniel Tiefnig for
        reporting the bug.
    
      [ Michael Prokop ]
      * grml2usb-compat: drop duplicated boot=live bootoptions.

    grml2usb (0.9.19) unstable; urgency=low
    
      [ Ulrich Dangel ]
      * check_for_fat always check for fat device.
      * Unset option.syslinux if grub option is set.
      * Mount vfat devices with explicit iocharset option.
        [Closes: issue735]
    
    grml2usb (0.9.18) unstable; urgency=low
    
      [ Ulrich Dangel ]
      * Also set GRML_DEFAULT when running with --dry-run. Thanks to Moritz
        Augsburger for the bug report.
      * Make sure that --grub-mbr requires --grub. Thanks to Moritz
        Augsburger and mika for the bug report.
    
    grml2usb (0.9.17) unstable; urgency=low
    
      [ Michael Prokop ]
      * Depend on rsync (thanks for the bugreport, Andras Korn).
    
      [ Ulrich Dangel ]
      * Adjust labels in {grml,default}.cfg if necessary.
      * Always copy grub files.
    
    grml2usb (0.9.16) unstable; urgency=low
    
      * Dynamic check for addons as grml-small is nowadays shipped with addons.
      * Copy gpxe.lkrn from addons.
      * Modified grml2usb to be able to run on a generated grml2usb iso/directory.

      * Support new addon menu file layout from grml-live.
    
    grml2usb (0.9.14) unstable; urgency=low
    
      [ Ulrich Dangel ]
      * Do not use '-' in the directory name for the linux kernel to allow
        creating iso image from generated directory layout.
      * Introduced --remove-bootoption in grml2usb to delete existing
        default boot entries.
      * Added -c option to grml2iso for copying the contents of specified
        directory to the generated iso image.
      * Added -b option to grml2iso for specifying additional default
        boot entries.
    
      [ Michael Prokop ]
      * Sync and add grml2usb-compat to grml2usb package. This simplifies
        installation as well as use for developers and users.
      * Drop unnecessary header line from grml2usb script.
    
    grml2usb (0.9.13) unstable; urgency=low
    
      [ Ulrich Dangel ]
      * Modified syslinux configuration handling to generate new vesa
        menu entries.
      * Support adding additional isos to existing grml2usb installation.
      * grml2iso supports new grml2usb using syslinux now.
    
      [ Michael Prokop ]
      * Update documentation regarding syslinux and FAT32 (thanks to
        Stefan Traby <email address hidden> for the hint).
      * Changes with regards to Ulrich's work:
        - Add a check to identify old ISOs which do not ship
          a default.cfg file and abort then. We have to break
          backward compatibility, otherwise the isolinux/syslinux
          code would become worse than it's already nowadays.
        - Search for isolinux files in /boot/isolinux/ so the
          correct grml.png is used.
        - Support setting bootoptions in syslinux.cfg
      * Drop duplicated boot=live references in kernel cmdline.
      * Apply patch from Thorsten Glaser which prepares code for
        his future[tm] work.
      * Raise CriticalException if filesystem.module, kernel or
        initrd are not present.
      * Avoid the "file is read only, overwrite anyway (y/n) ?"
        question of mtools by syslinux.
      * Inform user when using grub as bootloader.
      * Make syslinux the default bootloader (drop --syslinux,
        add --grub instead). Grub fails just too often.
    
    grml2usb (0.9.12) unstable; urgency=low
    
      * Replace 'logging.*("%s" % foo)' with 'logging.*("%s", foo)'
        so the logging works with python2.6 as well.
    
    grml2usb (0.9.11) unstable; urgency=low
    
      * Improve handling the 'No space left on device' situation through
        using an according rsync handler function.
    
    grml2usb (0.9.10) unstable; urgency=low
    
      * Support the directory where the grml2usb script resides as base
        directory so /usr/share/grml2usb isn't necessarily needed.
        Thanks for the patch to Alexander 'Leo' Bergolth <email address hidden>!
      * Make sure grub.conf isn't a symlink but a plain file instead,
        otherwise it will break on FAT16 filesystems. This works around
        grub-install of (at least) Fedora 10.
        Thanks for the patch to Alexander 'Leo' Bergolth <email address hidden>!
      * Use 'pci=nomsi' in failsafe bootoption. Thanks to Marc 'HE' Brockschmidt.
      * Mention the --syslinux option if grub-install fails.
      * Fix usage of --force in combination with --fat16. Thanks to
        Johannes Endres and Reiko Kaps for the bugreport.
      * Replace hint to '--grub' with 'grub'.
      * New option --grub-mbr which allows installation of grub in MBR instead
        of installation into a partition (PBR) which is necessary when using grub2.
    
    grml2usb (0.9.9) unstable; urgency=low
    
      * Use ascii.pf2 as grub2 font, since grub2 (1.96+20090307-1)
        the old ascii.pff isn't available anymore.
      * Use terminal_output if available, otherwise fallback to old
        older 'terminal'-command (thanks to Felix Zielcke for helping).
      * Document the 'grub-setup fails after Attempting to install GRUB
        to a partition instead of the MBR' issue.
      * Use "set gfxpayload=1024x768x16,1024x768" instead of vga=791 in
        grub2 configuration. This requires a recent version of the linux
        loader as the new linux loader loads the kernel at 32bit entry point
        and not at 16 bit anymore so it has to be translated for the Linux
        kernel (as the kernel parses vga= in 16 bit code). In the long run
        we don't seem to have another option, so let's change it.
        Thanks to Felix Zielcke and Robert Millan for first hand information.
      * Increase timeout from 5 to 10 seconds in grub2 configuration.
      * Load memtest86+ binary via 'linux16' in grub2 (otherwise it fails).
      * Drop the serial boot entry from grub2 (I assume users with usb
        pens don't need that option).
      * Change the way MirOS bsd4grml is loaded (use the fallback method
        as default).
      * Improve descriptions of grml's grub2 entries.
      * Bump Standards-Version to 3.8.3 (no further changes).
      * Fix creation and installation of grub1's configuration file (menu.lst).
        Thanks to Mario 'BitKoenig' Holbe.
    
    grml2usb (0.9.8) unstable; urgency=low
    
      * Support installation on /dev/loop*-devices.
      * Generate configuration for syslinux and grub by default, no
        matter which bootloader the users chooses.
      * Added options --skip-syslinux-config and --skip-grub-config
        if someone wants to skip the generation of any bootloader
        configuration files.
      * Make sure grub-install is available before executing it.
      * Display information about default grml flavour and the other
        available grml flavours at the end of the grml2usb run.
      * Use /sbin/blkid (e2fsprogs) instead of vol_id as vol_id is going to be
        removed from udev. Thanks for the patch to Andras Korn!
      * Use rsync instead of cp. Thanks for the patch to Andras Korn!
        [Closes: issue683]
      * Use 'forensic' and 'readonly' in the forensic bootoption itself.
      * Spelling fixes (thanks to Thorsten Glaser <email address hidden>).
      * Write GRUB2 config even if the target is a directory (thanks, Thorsten)
      * All these "set root=" are not needed for GRUB2 (thanks, Thorsten)
      * Switch order of check whether the specified device is a directory
        and check for usb device (as the usb device check will fail if
        it's a directory).
      * Add grml2iso for creating a bootable DVD:
        - thanks once more to Thorsten Glaser for helping and patches
        - thanks to Ernesto Domato for reporting the issue regarding
          i386<->amd64 with grub-mkimage
      * Move syslinux check to install_syslinux_mbr()
      * Drop the reference to --grub option (thanks for the bugreport
        to Peter Palfrader)
      * Update documentation:
        - mention the dd approach
        - mention grml2iso
        - improve section link names for the online version
        - add 'grub-probe: error: unknown filesystem'
      * Support use with python version 2.4.
      * Bump Standard Version to 3.8.2 (no further changes).
      * Depend on debhelper >=5 (using compat version 5).
    
    grml2usb (0.9.7) unstable; urgency=low
    
      * Fix typo in manpage of grml2usb (thanks to Wernfried Haas).
      * Fix bootoption toram: it should be toram=$FLAVOUR.squashfs instead
        of toram=$FLAVOUR. Thanks to Wernfried Haas and Frank Prochnow
        for the bugreport and debugging! [Closes: issue680]
    
    grml2usb (0.9.6) unstable; urgency=low
    
      * Support installation of the currently running grml live
        system ("grml2usb /live/image /dev/sdx1").
      * Add "persistent" entry to grub/syslinux menu. [Closes: issue669]
    
    grml2usb (0.9.5) unstable; urgency=low
    
      * Fix dashes of options in manpage (thanks for the bugreport,
        Thorsten Glaser).
      * Display program version during execution.
      * Apply fix by Peter Daum <email address hidden>, making sure
        to use the normalized path for unmounting. Thanks!
      * Use 'multiboot' for booting MirOS BSD when using grub2.
      * Catch exception if copying files fails.
      * Make sure to exit if installing grub fails.
      * Integrate hdt (Hardware Detection Tool) in bootsplash (but
        only if using syslinux as grub isn't supported).
    
    grml2usb (0.9.4) unstable; urgency=low
    
      * Bugfix: move kernel commandline from initrd to kernel option in
        generate_flavour_specific_grub2_config().

      * Drop some leftover 'lang=us' references.
      * Update mbr.S (thanks, Thorsten Glaser).

        what this option does). Improve the according documentation.
      * Update failsafe bootoption.
      * Fix comments section in manpage (thanks for reporting,
        Alexander Steinböck).

        (Thanks to Ralf Gross for the report and relevant information.)
      * Also add specified bootoptions to default entry in configuration
        file of grub version 1. (Thanks to Ralf Gross for the bugreport.)
      * Make sure that options "--quiet" and "--verbose" aren't accepted
        at the same time in the command line. Thanks for bugreport and
        code example, Karl Voit!
      * Bump Standard Version to 3.8.1 (no further changes).
      * Set debhelper's compat version from 4 to 5.
    
    grml2usb (0.9.2) unstable; urgency=low
    
      * Rewrote grml2usb from scratch (in python). New features:
        - you no longer need to setup the device via /etc/fstab, just
          directly invoke "grml2usb /path/to/iso /dev/sdb1"
        - initial multi-iso / multi-boot support
