grub2 (1.99~rc1-1ubuntu1) natty; urgency=low

  * Resynchronise with Debian.  Remaining changes:
    - Adjust for default Ubuntu boot options ("quiet splash").
    - Default to hiding the menu; holding down Shift at boot will show it.
    - Set a monochromatic theme and an aubergine background for Ubuntu.
    - Apply Ubuntu GRUB Legacy changes to legacy update-grub script: title,
      recovery mode, quiet option, tweak how memtest86+ is displayed, and
      use UUIDs where appropriate.
    - Fix backslash-escaping in merge_debconf_into_conf.
    - Remove "GNU/Linux" from default distributor string.
    - Add crashkernel option.
    - Bypass menu unless other OSes are installed or Shift is pressed.
    - Allow Shift to interrupt 'sleep --interruptible'.
    - Reduce visual clutter in normal mode.
    - Remove verbose messages printed before reading configuration.
    - Suppress kernel/initrd progress messages, except in recovery mode.
    - Handle filesystems loop-mounted on file images.
    - Ignore devices loop-mounted from files in Linux grub.d scripts.
    - Show the boot menu if the previous boot failed.
    - Don't generate device.map during grub-install or grub-mkconfig.
    - Adjust upgrade version checks for Ubuntu.
    - Suppress "GRUB loading" message unless Shift is held down.
    - Adjust versions of grub-doc and grub-legacy-doc conflicts.
    - Fix LVM/RAID probing in the absence of /boot/grub/device.map.
    - Look for .mo files in /usr/share/locale-langpack first.
    - Make sure GRUB_TIMEOUT isn't quoted unnecessarily.
    - Build-depend on qemu-kvm rather than qemu-system for grub-pc tests.
    - Use qemu rather than qemu-system-i386.
    - Add a grub-rescue-efi-amd64 package.
    - On Wubi, don't ask for an install device, but just update wubildr
      using the diverted grub-install.
    - Enable lua from grub-extras.
    - Incorporate the bitop library into lua.
    - Add enum_pci function to grub module in lua.
    - Check hardware support before using gfxpayload=keep.
    - Build part_msdos and vfat into EFI boot images.
    - Put second and subsequent Linux menu entries in a submenu.
    - Preferred resolution detection for VBE.
    - Set vt.handoff=7 for smooth handoff to kernel graphical mode.
  * Fix logic error in VBE resolution detection that meant EDID information
    was never used (LP: #693093).
  * Export linux_gfx_mode so that it's usable in submenus (LP: #702594).
  * Restore grub_mkdevicemap and associated options to grub-install, since
    it's needed when doing EFI installs (thanks, Jason Gunthorpe;
    LP: #702707).
  * Don't fail when there are no *.lua files in $pkglibdir (thanks, Jason
    Gunthorpe; LP: #702707).
  * If we're upgrading and /boot/grub/core.img doesn't exist, then don't ask
    where to install GRUB, since it probably means we're in some kind of
    specialised environment such as a live USB stick (LP: #591202).
  * Drop the default priority of grub2/linux_cmdline to medium.  We only
    need to ask it if we're upgrading from GRUB Legacy and found an empty
    kopt in menu.lst (LP: #591202).

grub2 (1.99~rc1-1) experimental; urgency=low

  [ Colin Watson ]
  * New upstream release candidate.

  [ Alexander Kurtz ]
  * 05_debian_theme:
    - If we find a background image and no colours were specified, use
      upstream defaults for color_normal and color_highlight rather than
      setting color_normal to black/black.
    - Make the code more readable by replacing code for handling
      alternatives.
    - Make the code for searching for pictures in /boot/grub more readable
      and robust (for example against newlines in the filename).
    - Don't try the other alternatives when $GRUB_BACKGROUND is set; you can
      now add GRUB_BACKGROUND= to /etc/default/grub to force no background
      image (closes: #608263).
