Splashy Developers <splashy-devel@lists.alioth.debian.org>
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Changes between 0.3.12 and 0.3.13
-------------------------------
* adds default theme to initramfs so we can fall back in case of problems with
a newer theme
* fixes font problem with libdirectfb
* fixes LSB script issue that prevented some applications to install
correctly if Splashy was removed/missing (mysql server, etc...)
* no major C changes, minor bug fixes
Changes between 0.3.11 and 0.3.12
-------------------------------
* closes a number of bugs from bugs.debian.org/splashy which apply to other
distros also
* fixes problems with uswsusp
* fixes problems with kdm
* no major C changes, mostly scripts
Changes between 0.3.10 and 0.3.11
-------------------------------
* implements chroot() as a command passed from splashy_update
* works better with resume-from-RAM/Disk when uswsusp is used from initramfs
* suggests to run update-initramfs -u when a theme is changed with splashy_config
* removes boot dependency argument $all from initrc script (for LSB)
* turns off cursor in TTY consoles to avoid showing artifacts when X starts
* other bug fixes
Changes between 0.3.9 and 0.3.10
-------------------------------
* plenty of bug fixes (Thanks Niko Araya for helping us sort them out) (See ChangeLog)
* Splashy works better with encrypted hard disk (LUKS) and getstring/getpass prompts early at boot
* lots of bug/thinko fixes from John Hughes, for which we are very glad!
* fixes issues with progress bar during shutdown (Thanks to Matthijs Kooijman)
* lsb-base-logging.sh LSB functions are a bit more complete
* clears TTYs properly whenever Splashy is about to exit
* detects display managers better (gdm, kdm, xdm)
KNOWN BUGS:
* (debian/ubuntu) if the user uninstalls gdm/kdm/xdm but do not purge the package, Splashy
waits for the calling of log_end_msg or log_daemon_msg which never happen, because
these scripts attempt to detect whether they are the default display manager and
exit without calling any LSB log_* functions. (Thanks blathijs for pointing this out)
Changes between 0.3.8 and 0.3.9
-------------------------------
* hu translation added (Thanks Miklos Vajna)
* br translation added (Thanks Amadeu Andrade Barbosa Júnior)
* added more checks at initramfs to ensure Splashy can be started (Thanks Luca Capello)
Changes between 0.3.7 and 0.3.8
-------------------------------
* Bug fixes:
- /etc/lsb-base-logging.sh now checks whether it should unmount $STEPS_DIR before doing so
- /etc/lsb-base-logging.sh now checks whether it should start keymap.sh/console-screen.sh on
debian systems
- console-tools/config.d/splashy touches /dev/shm/splashy* files to signal lsb-base-loggin.sh
that it needs to start a process like keymap.sh/console-screen.sh
Changes between 0.3.6 and 0.3.7
-------------------------------
* all static build dropped in favor of shared libraries. If your distribution does not support
initramfs shared binaries, or you are using Splashy from a thin-client server, you will need
to re-enable static on your own. Please refer to configure.ac and src/Makefile.am
* scrolls text during boot (splashy_update "scroll text to display")
* splashy_update commands print_scroll is now just scroll. Same for its alias "TEXT_SCROLL->SCROLL)
* splashy_update command clrprint is now just "clear"
* adds verbose text when pressing F2 (again). This time is done using LSB scripts not reading
the console files (/dev/vcs*)
* LSB script writes splashy PID to /var/run/sendsigs.omit which is used by /etc/init.d/sendsigs to
killall5 all processes at shutdown/reboot. This tells the system to ignore killing splashy during
shutdown/reboot.
* adds international support. Translators needed! http://splashy.alioth.debian.org/i18n/
* uses the real size of the screen and not that reported by the surface (Thanks to DeX77
from #frugalware for helping to get this fixed)
Changes between 0.3.5 and 0.3.6
-------------------------------
* Documentation updates
* Support for OpenSuSE/Fedora and other RPM-based systems
* Splashy now works with Directfb 1.x
* Splashy runs from initramfs under Init again (Thanks to RPath Linux and Directfb Dev Team) (upstart works just like before)
* Themes are now in /usr/share/splashy/themes and a symlink from /etc/splashy/themes points to that location (See README for more)
Changes between 0.3.4 and 0.3.5

- splashy-update-progress-steps needed RUNLEVEL to be defined
- splashy-update-progress-steps had a problem when scripts did not
all log_end_msg before the progressbar reached 100%
- creates /lib/splashy which is needed by our initrc scripts
- adds a script to prevent console-screen.sh from running

* support for DirectFB 0.9.25 and up
Changes between 0.1.8 and 0.1.8.1
-----------------------------------
* a number of (minor) bug fix
* splashy_config -i option support archives like .tar.gz, .tar.bz or .tar
and it checks the archive
* /sbin/splashy can be used as /sbin/splashy_chvt: avoiding a dependancy
on chvt from console-tools

Changes between 0.1.7 and 0.1.8
-------------------------------
* Support for theme schemas
* Implements all usplash commands on the named pipe/fifo

* Improved verbose mode, pressing F2 shows verbose as well as autoverbose
mode after detecting errors on the console (/dev/vcs* buffers). Text
now shows on a nice, overlay textbox.
* splashy-init replaces all initrc scripts. Allows to quickly update the
progressbar, detects when X11 is to be launched by gdm/kdm/xdm, among
many features
* Fully Linux Standard Base (LSB) compliance
* Text messages can be printed to the screen (for system messages) (Thanks
to Pat from Xandros.com for the patch)
