freevo (1.9.0-8) unstable; urgency=low

  * When installing freevo for the first time, it adds a user 'freevo' to
    the system.  In older versions of freevo, the home directory was set
    to '/home/freevo' ; from version 1.9.0-8 on, it is '/var/lib/freevo'
    (see bug 608035). That base space contains the directories for
    'video' 'audio' 'image' 'recordings' 'cache' 'static' 'log' .
    The first four are managed using 'debconf' so to change them 
    you should use  'dpkg-reconfigure freevo'; instead 'cache' 'static' 'log'
    are decided in /etc/default/freevo .
    When upgrading freevo from older versions, the situation is as follows:
     - the home directory is left unchanged, .i.e. '/home/freevo'
     - debconf variables are unchanged, so '/home/freevo' will still
       contains music, images, TV recordings (in that respect, all will work
       as before); if you want to change that, use 'dpkg-reconfigure freevo'.
     - The configuration file /etc/default/freevo will still choose the
       versions inside /home/freevo if they exist.
    All the above is to ease upgrade and transition.

freevo (1.8.0-1) unstable; urgency=low

    A significant change to the TV recording has been the replacement of the
    record_schedule.xml with two files, schedule.pickle and
    favorites.pickle. This means that unless the record_schedule.xml has
    been saved to a safe place during the installation then you will lose
    you favorites.

    The Debian package will try to convert your schedule automatically;
    if this fails, do the following:

    cp .../record_schedule.xml ~/record_schedule.xml~oldformat
    freevo recordserver stop
    freevo convert_favorites ~/record_schedule.xml~oldformat
    freevo recordserver start
    freevo schedulefavorites

    Other changes include the renaming of configuration variables;
    to correct these do the following: use
      freevo convert_config /etc/freevo/local_conf.py
    to see the list of changes, and
      freevo convert_config /etc/freevo/local_conf.py -w
    to apply them.
