[Bug 1089396] Re: New upstream releases available for Onboard and virtkey

[Francesco Fumanti]

** Description changed:

- Text and debianisations coming...
+ Hi,
+ 
+ A new version of Onboard has been released upstream. This is not the
+ final 0.99.0 release; it is an alpha release to allow users to take
+ advantage and to test among others the first adaptions done to Onboard
+ for the nexus 7.
+ 
+ This new version of Onboard requires virtkey version 0.63.0 that has
+ been released in conjunction with Onboard 0.99.0~alpha1~tr1188.
+ 
+ Moreover, I have updated the ubuntu-defaults-nexus7 package with the
+ system-defaults file for nexus of Onboard 0.99.0~alpha1~tr1188.
+ 
+ The debianisation for ubuntu raring of the three packages will be
+ attached to this bug thread in short. Here the relevant parts of the
+ debian/changelog of the three packages:

+ 
+ ubuntu-defaults-nexus7 (0.39) raring; urgency=low
