New in Pinta 0.2 (Mar 17, 2010)
- debian/control:
- Fiddle build-dependencies for Karmic build
- debian/rules:
- Xbuild on Karmic doesn't work properly with Solution (sln) files, so
- call xbuild on the four individual Project (csproj) files manually.
- Iain Lane:
- Initial release. (Closes: #569171)
- debian/patches/force_unicode: Patch upstream .csproj files to
- unconditionally treat source files as unicode, otherwise this is dependent
- on build locale. As some of the source files contain unicode characters,
- allowing this behaviour meant that some strings in the application did not
- display correctly.
