  • variety (0.6.6-2) unstable; urgency=medium
    
      * Disable the installation of extra "SSL dependencies" on Debian and Ubuntu.
        This process is fairly unreliable and has both caused false positives
        (LP: #1739944) as well as reports that nothing is solved by the workaround
        (LP: #1577327)
    
     -- James Lu <email address hidden>  Sat, 10 Mar 2018 11:18:57 -0800
  • variety (0.6.6-1) unstable; urgency=high
    
      * New upstream release.
        - Fix shell injection issues via specially crafted filenames in image
          filters, desktop clock, and the "Delete to Trash" option.
        - Fix wallpaper changing support for Plasma 5.
      * Bump Standards-Version to 4.1.0; no changes needed.
      * Drop patches fix-autoscroll-high-cpu.patch and remove-panoramio.patch,
        they were merged upstream.
      * d/copyright: update years, remove CC-BY-SA for the help/
        folder, which was only an unused template removed in 0.6.6.
      * Switch build-dependency from python-imaging to python-pil to match
        dependencies.
      * Recommend python-httplib2: this is used by the QuotesDaddy and
        QuotationPage quote plugins. (LP: #1713723)

  • variety (0.6.4-3) unstable; urgency=medium
    
      * Add new patch remove-panoramio.patch to remove Panoramio support
        completely (including unused code and data/ bits). This patch supersedes
        disable-panoramio.patch and dont-embed-underscore.diff
      * Bump Standards-Version to 4.0.0; no changes needed.
      * Add patch remove-outdated-versions-quit.patch: Disable logic bomb based on
        configured "outdated versions" - if this is enabled upstream it will cause
        specific variety versions to fail to start, and this is probably not what
        we want to ship.
      * Remove dependency on deprecated gir1.2-webkit-3.0 - Panoramio was the last
        bit of code to actually use it. (Closes: #866655)
    
     -- James Lu <email address hidden>  Wed, 05 Jul 2017 12:39:38 -0700
  • variety (0.6.4-2) unstable; urgency=medium
    
      * Upload to unstable.
      * Remove recommends on yelp; it doesn't seem to be used anywhere (there is
        no obvious "Help" button anywhere in the menu or the preferences dialog)
      * Add gnome-shell-extension-top-icons-plus & nitrogen to suggests, along
        with a blurb on when/how these are useful. These packages are only needed
        on certain desktops.
      * Demote gir1.2-appindicator3-0.1 to recommends, as it is optional per the
        upstream docs at http://peterlevi.com/variety/how-to-install/
        ("Other distributions/running from source" section)

        drain entire CPU cores when open. (LP: #1494992)
      * Fix list of supported sites in package extended description: Wallbase.cc
        support was removed in 0.6.3, while Wallhaven.cc was never mentioned even
