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

  * Update system-defaults.conf file for Onboard 0.99.0~alpha1~tr1188
