* Move mainline architectures to 2.6.27-9 kernels.
* Move ports architectures to 2.6.27-1 kernels.

[ Frans Pop ]
* Test that a mirror supports the target suite before it's added to
sources.list.udeb. Should fix build failures on lxdebian for s390,
which includes an incomplete mirror in its /etc/apt/sources.list.
* config/s390.cfg: avoid loading partman-auto during anna as guided
partitioning is not very useful for DASDs.
* Include isofs-modules in hd-media images now that the isofs module has
been split out of the ide-modules udeb (kernels >=2.6.25).
[ Martin Michlmayr ]
* nslu2: Make sure the whole ramdisk partition is padded now that
APEX tells the kernel to look at the whole partition.
* Remove delo from Build-Depends since DECstations are no longer
supported.
* Move arm, armel, mips and mipsel to 2.6.25.
* Enable the netwinder image again.
* Add images for QNAP TS-109, TS-209 and TS-409.
* Add an image for the HP Media Vault mv2120.
* Add an image for the Buffalo Kurobox Pro. Patch from Per Andersson
as part of his Google Summer of Code project.
* Move arm, armel and mipsel to 2.6.26.
* Move mips to 2.6.26.
* Add a README to the arm images saying that the arm port is not
recommended for new installations.
[ Joey Hess ]
* Use menu default64 support added to syslinux 2:3.63+dfsg-2 to
automatically select the amd64 installation option on multiarch images.
[ Colin Watson ]
* Test OMIT_WIN32_LOADER in arch_cd_info_dir and arch_miniiso targets as
well as arch_boot.
[ Joey Hess ]
* mountfloppy renamed to mountmedia
* floppy-retriever renamed to media-retriever
* Add usb-storage-modules to all netboot images that use mountmedia.
This will allow loading NIC drivers/firmware from a USB stick.
[ Otavio Salvador ]
* Include firewire-core-modules on cdrom images (i386 and amd64) to allow
usage of firewire dockstations (as found on some VAIO laptops). See
#488267 for reference.
* Move alpha, amd64, i386 and powerpc to 2.6.25.
[ Frans Pop ]

* Add 3 characters that are directly accessible from Dutch and British
keyboards to needed-characters/nl.utf.
[ Ian Campbell ]
* Add i386 netboot-xen flavour using PAE enabled kernel compatible with PAE
and 64 bit hypervisors.
[ Robert Millan ]
* config/x86.cfg: Make desktop selection explicit in win32-loader.ini.
Closes: #486907.
[ Joey Hess ]
* Disable upx for all images due to bug #490149.

used.

This is enabled by default only for release builds.
[ Bastian Blank ]
* Move s390 to 2.6.26-1.
[ Stephen R. Marenka ]
* Move m68k to 2.6.26-1.
* Add modules to cdrom.
* Rename atari bootstra.prg to bootstra.tos.
[ Frans Pop ]
* Apply patch from Samuel Thibault to add Speakup accessibility support to
Graphical Installer images for i386 and amd64.
* Rename syslinux config files (ad)amd.cfg to (ad)amdtext.cfg for consistency.
* Drop languages that require a graphical installer for all arm and armel
images to reduce image size.
* x86: set correct default entries in the isolinux config for booting the
installer from the help screens. Closes: #500464.

MMC/SD cards. Closes: #498568.
