debconf (1.0.30) unstable; urgency=low
* Matthew Palmer <mjp16@ieee.uow.edu.au> contributed a LDAP backend
database for debconf. This will open up all kinds of new possiilities
for using debconf in a cluster, etc. It is currently experimental, and
will not be used unless you enable it; so there is no chance this new
code will impact the freeze.
* Wrote debconf-devel(8) man page, which attempts to be a complete
reference for developing packages that use debconf. Read it.
* Fixed the doc-base name of the debconf tutorial.
* Minor change to debconf-mergetemplate man page synopsis.
* Refuse to use the dialog frontend if the screen is too small,
it'll fall back to the text frontend which will work on screens
down to about 2 lines of 20 characters each. Closes: #132972
* Fixed typo, Closes: #134161
* Patch from Denis Barbier <barbier@debian.org> to make debconf-getlang
work better with ll_LL form languages. Closes: #134307
* Display choices for boolean questions in the editor frontend,
Closes: #135078
* Improved the section in the tutorial on translations. Patch from Denis
Barbier. Closes: #96836
* Added a new Russian template from Ilgiz Kalmetev, Closes: #135839

debconf (1.0.26) unstable; urgency=low
* Removed uninitialized value warning in Teletype frontend.
Actually, this was a bug that did not let it display only one column on
choices when necessary; triggered by quake2-data.
* Incuded a short README.Debian for debconf-utils, Closes: #129541
* Made the README point to all the main docs for users and developers.
Closes: #129545
* Deregister SIGPIPE handler after confmodule finishes, so it is not called
after the object is gone. Closes: #129463
* Chomp whitespace at the end of field continuation lines; this fixes a
bug that caused some indented lines to be accidentially wrapped up to
the previous line.
* Stop using funky grave quotes in this package's templates.
* Updated Spanish template. Closes: #128838
* Updated Catalan.
* Added German po file, updated templates.
* Killed the following overly-outdated translated templates: pl, ru,
zh_CN, zh_TW, nl, ja, it.
* fi and gl have one fuzzy translation each, and all the rest are fine.
* Corrected incorrect indents in a number of translated templates, sigh.
* debconf(8) tweak, Closes: #130348

debconf (1.0.25) unstable; urgency=medium
* The "bite the bullet" release.
* Enhanced fix_db.pl to detect and deal with every debconf db corruption
scenario that has been reported to me. Run it on upgrade from versions
prior to this one. I suspect that all instances of inconsistent and
corrupt debconf db's are due to past bugs in debconf and especially the
transition from the crufty old data::dumper db, and the "fix" for the
missing template problem, plus possibly some unclean shutdown problems.
So fix them all now, and either the problems go away for good or I prove
my theories wrong if they pop back up later.
* Closes: #128707, #128265, #99786
