[ Frank S. Thomas ]
* New upstream release.
  - Fixed wrong CPU information on alpha, hppa, ia64, ppc and sparc.
    (closes: #406853)
  - Use i686-pc-linux-gnu as alternative platform name for
    x86_64-pc-linux-gnu to get i386 binaries on amd64. (closes: #366741)
    Hence all traces to our own mechanism to override the platform name on
    amd64 have been removed:
    - debian/patches/001_amd64_disable_platform_reset.patch
    - debian/extra/use-32bit-on-amd64.sh
    - the associated paragraph from debian/boinc-client.README.Debian
* Updated boinc_client's, boinc_cmd's and boincmgr's manual pages for the
  new release.
* debian/boinc-client.{init,default}: Use two dashes for boinc_client's
  command line options instead of one because that is it's default now.
* debian/boinc-client.postinst: Use "[ ... ] && [ ... ]" instead of
  "[ ... -a ... ]" because these constructs are much easier to read.
* debian/boinc-client.preinst: Use dpkg-query instead of poking directly
  into the dpkg status file. See this thread for more information:
  http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2007/05/msg01070.html
* debian/conffiles/{cc_config.xml,global_prefs_override.xml}: Added comments
  which explain the purpose of each configuration file and which contain
  URLs to upstream documentation for each of them.
* debian/copyright:
  - State that the source code is obtained via Subversion (and not via CVS)
    and added a pointer to debian/README.Debian-source.
  - Updated for the new release.
* Added /usr/share/bug/boinc-client/script which pastes boinc-client's
  init script configuration file (/etc/default/boinc-client) into bug
  reports because this might be helpful for debugging.
* extra/bash/boinc: Added bash completion for boinc_client and boinc_cmd.
* debian/rules:
  - Don't ignore $(MAKE) distclean errors to make lintian happy.
  - Install unstripped versions of boinc_client, boinc_cmd and boincmgr
    and let dh_strip do this job for us. Now building BOINC with
    DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS="nostrip" actually does what it should do.
* debian/patches/: Added 002_remove_hardcoded_optimization.patch to remove
  hardcoded compiler flags from client/Makefile.am and to make debian/rules
  the only place again where compiler flags are defined.
  (probably closes: #427661)
* New boinc-dbg package added to provide debugging symbols for BOINC
  binaries.
* debian/boinc-dev.{install,links}:
  - Don't install lib/common_defs.h manually, "make install" does this now.
  - Create a symlink in /usr/share/boinc-dev/lib/ to the new str_util.h.

[ Steffen Moeller ]
* Smallish changes to Debian READMEs and man pages.

[ Debconf translations ]
* Added Portuguese (pt.po) by Miguel Figueiredo <elmig@debianpt.org>.
  (closes: #428278)
