gnome-initial-setup (50~alpha-0ubuntu5) resolute; urgency=medium

  [ Marco Trevisan (Treviño) ]
  * debian/patches: Move to ubuntu namespace and clarify their meanings.
    Make things play better with gbp
  * d/p/ubuntu: Split patches to make them independent.
    We had some huge non-atomic patches that were hard to maintain and to
    understand, split them all so each one is now atomic and only does one
    thing.
    In the process, drop lots of unneeded functions, unused files and
    dependencies
  * debian/control: Remove dependency on snapd-glib.
    It's unused nowadays
  * d/p: Show location services page showing BeaconDB privacy policies.
    It's the new geoclue provider
  * d/p/page-header: Ensure image parameters are always set.
    We had the assumptions that the image was always set before of its
    parameters, but this may not be true, so make the code to be not
    dependent on properties initialization
  * d/p: Simplify the welcome page image code.
    And also use a bigger mascot image
  * d/p/apps: Give more priority to the snap store rather than ubuntu sw
  * d/p/ubuntu-pro: Drop unused code and simplify json parsing
  * d/p/ubuntu-pro: Use GLib utils to parse release and simplify non-LTS checks
  * d/p: Simplify the application shutdown when there are no more pages
  * d/p/ubuntu-insights: Do not mark the page completed too early.
    We were marking the page completed as soon as the working thread was
    started, and so we were not notifying users in time and not showing nay
    spinner if required.
  * d/p: Define a default gjs-driver for easier mode check
  * d/p: Set some some webkit default settings from upstream
  * d/p: Use GtkLinkButton to open welcome page release notes
  * d/p: Allow open web pages in external browser
  * d/p: Use embedded browser to show the policy page in insight page
  * d/p: Use embedded browser to show the release notes
  * d/p, d/control: Rely on default webkit viewer to show EULA PDF files.
    Rather than re-implementing a super-limited PDF viewer, let's just rely
    on PDF.js that webkit embeds to show the local PDF EULA files
  * d/p: Use internal browser to show the privacy policy page
  * d/p: Add support for handling user upgrades
  * debian/control: Build depend on lsb-release.
    It's used the upgrade patch, so we need it for building
  * d/p: Add patch to show privacy panel to 26.04 upgraders.
    We switched to BeaconDB for geoclue, so better to show the consent panel
    again

  * d/p/ubuntu: Remove default source and add ubuntu_release_upgrader source
  * d/p/ubuntu: Fix insights collection when installer telemetry is corrupted
