dell-recovery (0.55) lucid; urgency=low
* Add support for type 0x27 partitions (NTFS Win7 Recovery partition).
* When first building the UP, check for all possible upimg filenames.
* Add two binary files taken directory from factory process that are used
to produce a compatible MBR and PBR such that DellDiags can be launched
from a BIOS menu.
* Use some crafty maneuvering to create the UP using parted rather than
mkfs.vfat. The latter appears to not properly fill out bytes 11-35 of
the PBR causing it to not be bootable.
* Take the necessary bytes out of the two binary files to place them in
place, making the PBR properly bootable.
* debian/control:
- Drop recommends for syslinux since we use our own mbr now.
* When operating in ubiquity debug mode, expose exceptions even if we're
in a factory boot.
* If we didn't include an autoexec.bat/config.sys (as is the case from normal
DellDiags releases), then make the files we need to be bootable.
* Update icon to new Dell branding icon and render it at a higher resolution.
* Do a better job at filtering command line options that shouldn't propagate
to the target system.
* Replace dell-dvd png with an svg so that is scales better at high resolution.
* Filter extra kernel command line arguments in all scenarios, not just if
dell-recovery is in the kernel command line.
* Shuffle the dell-bootstrap plugin to come before language again.
- This will allow us to use debian-installer/language to preseed the install
to a particular language.
- This also allows the rest of the UI to be customized besides just the
dell-bootstrap plugin.
* Fix translation support. We should be able to load translations for all
widgets now.
* Introduce a 3rd ubiquity plugin that forces the title of the parent window.
This is necessary because bootstrap runs before the language page, which
which reset the title again.
- Only load it if we don't have dell-recovery/recovery_type on kernel
command line (which means factory mode)
* Adjust the names of some of the templates to not show items as bold in
the bootstrap plugin.
