0.5:

* chroot
- use glob() instead of glob_() to support again non-wildcarded
  filenames in live->{system}{files} and live->{media}{files}

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


0.4:

* config
- make loopback fs configurable
- allow to define fallbacks directories
  (will be mounted only if the mountpoint is not already mounted)
- XiB are now used instead of XB when specified fs size is expanded
- allow to specify min_size in custom squash_union helper
- introduce "plain" mount type (instead of empty mount type)
- split build/media prefixes
- allow to specify additional mount options for storage media
  (such as umask=...)
- add live-{system}{hide_media_dirs} and live->{media}{files}
  (see details in "master" section)
- allow to use glob patterns in live->{system}{files} and
  live->{media}{files}

* bootloader
- use grub-install and grub files from chroot, and make it use custom
  boot directory

* chroot
- create draklive-resize configuration file and do not build loopback
  fs if min_size is specified

* loopbacks
- use tmpfs as fallback if the ext2 loopback can not be mounted
- repair loopbacks non-interactively

* master
- set MTOOLS_SKIP_CHECK to 1 when running mlabel (some USB pens are
  misdetected by mtools)
- allow to hide media dirs by adding '.' in prefixes when
  live-{system}{hide_media_dirs} is set
- use mattrib to hide media dirs from windows
- install grub on both master device and partition (fix boot on buggy
  Intel BIOS)
- allow to copy files directly to the final image/media using
  live->{media}{files} (implemented for USB only)


0.3:

* interface
- make --boot-only copy only boot files (instead of using boot media)
- add --boot-image option to create a boot image for the selected
  method
- make string command line options mandatory
- add --dump-config option
- allow to load settings from command line using --define options
- drop --region option (use --define region=)

* config
- make the system.loop size configurable
- handle GigaBytes for loopback sizes
- rename live->{post} as live->{system}{initrd_post}
- export region as DRAKLIVE_REGION for auto_install
- allow to provide stage2 updates with live->{system}{stage2_updates}
- allow to make the initrd reread a device partition table using
  live->{media}{rereadpt}
  (useful if USB partition changes after some PIN input)
- allow to customize bootloader title in live->{media}{title}
- default to config/live.cfg config path
- allow to load live->{settings} from a file and default to
  config/settings.cfg
- use region/repository/root/workdir variables from live->{settings}
- rename "workdir" setting as "builddir"
- rename "root" setting as "chroot"
- automatically add arch to specified repository

* chroot installation
- remove /etc/dbus-1/machine-id
- really don't apply patches if they look already applied
- workaround buggy installation of directories that are not owned by
  any packages (using 022 umask)
- do not try to install packages if the additional media is only aimed
  at adding extra sources (warly)
- remove urpmi media before starting additional media installation
- install additional media just before they are required
- get drakx-in-chroot from the repository
- run install/rpm commands for targetted architecture

* bootloader
- unlink grub device map so that grub rechecks the map
- die when grub or rsync fail
- don't install bootloader on non-block device
- partial gfxboot support (#26430)
- build bootloader files for boot methods listed in
  media->{extra_boot}
- display help file if not bootlogo is available
- add missing newlines in syslinux/grub configuration files

* loopbacks
- don't use sort file if it doesn't exist
- adapt mksquashfs output parsing to latest release
- die if mksquashfs fails
- don't pass float to mkfs.vfat
- run fsck on rw loopback files before mounting them
- don't reserv blocks on ext2/3 filesystems, we don't create root fs
- compute an approximative size for USB master images

* master/record
- don't use a timeout for rsync copy (should fix USB mastering)
- pass -F option to mke2fs only for non-block devices
- use genisoimage
- die if genisoimage can not be run
- use wodim instead of cdrecord

* copy wizard
- don't create a master for onthefly USB recording
- don't show Previous button in copy wizard (#25868)
- allow to select a master image in the copy wizard
- update progress during live USB recording
- add an end step
- warn if an error occurs during live copy
- use 788 as default vga mode

* misc:
- don't add splash/vga settings on cmdline if no vga mode is defined
- umount any nfs volume in /mnt (warly)
- use the 'never' timeout value instead of hardcoded values
- automatically select storage type if only one is available
- define directory mounts in their mount order, and reverse the order
  when mounting unionfs
- guess arch using rpm _target_cpu macro
- add arch in chroot and builddir paths
- include desktop in builddir/chroot name if specified



0.2:

- remove modprobe.preload.d files
- remove /etc/udev/rules.d/61-*_config.rules files
- use patch batch mode (-t) not to apply already applied patches and die if a patch can't be applied
- run shell in initrd when the "debug" option is on cmdline
- allow to add additionnal boot entries
- umount filesystem which could stay mounted in the chroot before cleaning (warly)
- default splash image is now splash.xpm.gz for grub
- rename draklive.desktop as draklive-copy-wizard.desktop



0.1:

- use system's mount to mount NFS loopbacks
- sort squashfs loopback if a config/distrib.sort file is present
