0.8:

* loop
- use legacy mksquashfs3 instead of the new mksquashfs
- use 1MB squashfs blocks, this gives us about 10% better compression

* bootloader
- remove unneeded locale files from gfxboot bootlogo file (causes boot issues
  on some machines)
- add 'harddrive' boot entry to chainload to the harddrive bootloader
- use latest syslinux + gfxboot COM module

* master
- hybridify generated ISOs so that they can be dumped on USB keys

0.7:

* initrd
- do not copy and load twice additional modules if they were listed in
  extra modules
- use nash-mount instead of mount
- create /etc/blkid and use "showlabels --removable" to get CD-Rom
  labels in blkid cache

- use libraries from /lib instead of /lib/i686 (#38649) and /lib/tls
  (#21683) to be able to boot on processors without cmov

* bootloader
- remove hardcoded fastboot option (new initscripts do not fsck rw /)

* master
- handle genisoimage progress more nicely
- insert mkcd checksum before computing md5/sha1 checksums
- hide mkcd output

* dist
- rename "images" directory as "dist"
- create packages lst in dist
- write a .langs file with human-readable langs list
- write full list of rpm packages and list of rpm leaves, sorted by package size

* misc
- do not try to use consolehelper to display "must be root" message,
  it's broken outside of X


0.6:

* config
- use config and additional files from live->{settings}{config_root},
  defaulting to current directory, or to /etc/draklive if no config file
  is present in current directory

- use /var/lib/draklive/build as default build dir and
  /var/lib/draklive/chroot as default chroot dir

- improve gfxboot support by copying files from both Mandriva and
  system-chosen theme
- install gfxboot files in /isolinux on CD image

- drop useless ide-generic hack, probe-modules will load it as
  fallback only
- drop usb-storage hack, done by probe-modules
- do not explicitely load storage module in linuxrc
  (done by probe-modules helper)
- add modules.dep, modules.description, modules.alias, ldetect-lst
  tables, pci.ids and fallback-modules.alias for probe-modules
- add .ko.gz symlinks to .ko files (used by probe-modules, gzopen
  transparently opens uncompressed files)

- move modules mount point in new root
- do not mess / tree if no live modules are used
- allow to copy per-fs files in initrd
- copy additional modules after plain modules, so that they can overwrite them
- do not uppercase label anymore for vfat partitions, nash with vol_id
  seems to handle it fine

* chroot
- be less verbose when running patch dry runs
- don't hardcode list of files to be removed in chroot, they must be
  listed in live->{system}{remove_files} now (dbus/modprobe/udev files
  for example)
- allow to use real glob patterns in live->{system}{remove_files}
- copy resolv.conf in chroot for urpmi to work (and clean it at end of
  post-install)
- do not run service_harddrake stop anymore, it does not exist in 2008.0

  progress bar

  (in addition to the mkcd checksum)
- do not copy extra media files in boot images
- fix extra files selection in cdrom master
- compute media dirs on the fly instead of hardcoding at start
  (to support CD-Rom boot images with non-hidden media directories)

* record
- make device option used for boot-only as well
- do not set label if boot-only
- use bootloader setting from optional media if specified
- umount usb device if loopback copy fails
- unlink list file if loopbacks copy fails as well
- mark as read-only boot and loopbacks on vfat USB media

  in settings.cfg (#35105)


0.5:

  filenames in live->{system}{files} and live->{media}{files}

* loopbacks
- use noappend option in mksquashfs to overwrite previous loopbacks
